I'll never know why I had to go
  Why I had to put up such a lousy rotten show
  Boy, I was tough, packing all my stuff
  Saying I don't need you anymore, I've had enough
  And now, look at me standing here again 'cause I found out that
  Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma my life is here
  Gotta have you near
    As good as new, my love for you
  And keeping it that way is my intention
  As good as new and growing too
  Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
  It's as good as new, my love for you
  Just like it used to be and even better
  As good as new, thank God it's true
  Darling, we were always meant to stay together
    Feel like a creep, never felt so cheap
  Never had a notion that my love could be so deep
  How could I make such a dumb mistake
  Now I know I'm not entitled to another break
  But please, baby, I beg you to forgive 'cause I found out that
  Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma my life is here
  Gotta get you near
    I thought that our love was at an end but here I am again
    As good as new, my love for you
  And keeping it that way is my intention
  As good as new and growing too
  Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
  It's as good as new, my love for you
  Just like it used to be and even better
  As good as new, thank God it's true
  Darling, we were always meant to stay together
    Yes the love I have for you feels as good as new
  Darling, we were always meant to stay together
