"Like An Old Lover" lyrics

Gloria, won't you come home
And dance with me slow?
Hold my head, my dear
Like you've got no place to go

And tell me I'm a good man
Even if it's a lie
Tell me I've done alright
I need to hear that tonight
Oh, I need to hear that tonight

And I know
Should have been better to you
Stay one last night
Like an old lover would do
Would do

No, I don't blame you
For leaving this town
I hear you're packing up
And that you're heading down south

And I just wanna thank you
I'm gonna carry you until my end
Oh, you're in my blood, my dear
Yeah, you're my best friend

And I know
Should have been better to you
Stay one last night
Like an old lover would do
Would do

And I know
Should've been better to you
Stay one last night
Like an old lover would do
Like an old lover would do
Like an old lover would do
