"London You Were My Lover" lyrics

Jools Holland & Marc Almond Lyrics

"London You Were My Lover"

I'm sure you found another lover
Someone younger to take my place
Someone blind to the changes of time
And the lines appearin' on your face

And they say first love is sweet love
But does it grow bitter with years?
Like a good wine corked
It sours with time
And tastes just like my salty tears

London, you were my lover
But I don't love you anymore
Though I'm willing to give you another chance
If you dress just like you did before, yeah

Listen to me now

You were once a fair lady
And you kept the competition away
Me and London had a crazy affair
And we danced our nights away

But now my lover, you've changed
And I don't know you anymore
Good memories gone
And life moves on
I preferred the way you were before

London, you were my lover
But I don't love you anymore
Though I'm willing to give you another chance
If you dress just like you did before

We used to live the red light life
We used to go out every night
Me and London
Dressed to the nines
And covered in neon lights, yeah

London, you were my lover
But we're not dancing anymore
Now our disco days are over
And we can't take the dance floor

London, you were my lover
But I don't love you anymore
You took all my cash
Threw my memories in the trash
You threw me out and locked the door

London, you were my lover
But I don't love you any more
Though I'm willing to give you another chance
If you dress just like you did before
If you dress just like you did before
If you dress just like you did before
If you dress just like you did before

Put that red dress on
