"The Man I Used To Be" lyrics
"The Man I Used To Be"
I saw us dancing in a dream last night
Just like we used to do when it was me and you
I heard you whisper 'Can you feel my heart?'
Like we would never part
I know I've only got myself to blame
I saw an open door and I just wanted more
I made my move, I left you standing there
The world was waiting for a boy like me
Gimme! Gimme! I want all that I see
How could I be such a fool?
Oh, the man I used to be
Did me no favour
And it's only now I know, oh, oh
What a wonder is your love
What a wonder is your love
Since you've been gone I've seen so many girls
They captivate my eye but I just walk on by
Behind each face I see an empty space
I look for you inside
I keep on searching every night and day
Hoping the next I see will be the one for me
But all around me it's your memory
If I knew then the things that I know now
Just how precious is a lover's vow
I would not be such a fool
Oh, the man I used to be
Did me no favour
And it's only now I know, oh, oh
What a wonder is your love
All those ruby lips I kissed
Soon lost their flavour
And it's only now I know, oh, oh
What a wonder is your love
What a wonder is your love
I was a fool to lose your love
I went and threw away your love
Oh baby, now I need your love

I've had to work for everything I own
I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I got
Enough to keep my family and my home

Richard Thompson - "Persuasion" You and I
Tempted by the promise of a different life
Time has fled
There's a constant battle running through my head
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I still believe
After all the foolish things...

She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour
She had a husband on her bumper
She had five restless children

Mary Black - "Walking With My Love" She has a map of auburn hair
The bluest eyes with no compare
Intelligence, that just holds you there
And her laughter fills the evening air
I smile at her just strolling there
No need to hurry no...
