"Sons 'n' Lovers" lyrics

Ian Hunter & Mick Ronson Lyrics

"Sons 'n' Lovers"

I was your baby - you were my girl
When I asked you to marry me - the tears fell

Sons n' lovers, sons n' lovers, waving
My childhood goodbye - it seems so sad
Well how long have you been my best friend
This won't be the end of
Sons n' lovers - sons n' lovers
She won't wanna talk anymore about it

You were my lady - I was your number one
When I said I was leaving - tears run

Sons n' lovers - sons n' lovers, breakin'
Tryin' not to hurt each others hearts
Well, how long can we exist - I know
We can't go on like this
Sons n' lovers - son's and lovers
I don't wanna lie anymore

Was that you I saw - walkin' out along the shore
Was that you I saw - talkin' to him
Was that you I saw - puttin' his hands in yours
That's alright ma - you can still love him
That's alright ma - you can still love
And through the years - you know - we will remember
Time will never take old times away
How long for you to discover that
There still some strings attached to
Sons n' lovers - sons and lovers
But I don't wanna play anymore
Sons n' lovers
