former me

yes

i used to know a fellow

he was lighter on his feet

just as quick as a sparrow

that was the former me

since i been here for so long now

now i think that i can see

acquaint myself with that fellow

who was the former me

those days have been lost in my mind

a fancy man

i won't deny

when i think about it nowadays

can't recall it from a

from the dawn to the sunset of my life

it's a truth i could not see

not till later did i recognize the guy

it was the former me

those days have been 'bossed in my mind

fancy man

i won't deny

when i think about it nowadays

can't recall it from a

since i been here for so long now

now i think that i can see

acquaint myself with that fellow

who was the former me

yes

i used to know a fellow

he was lighter on his feet

just as quick as a sparrow
