same old loverman

lightfoot, gordon

i'm not some long lost someone

just dropped in to say hello

it's that same old lover man

baby you lost so long ago

'cause i was born to believe

i never could deceive

believe me

i hear no children's voices

have they gone back to school

and that same old lover man

is still acting like a fool

i guess i was born to bring you grief

though i never was a thief

believe me

it's cold outside your window

please let me in

the night is wild

it's that same old lover man

not some lonesome winsome child

an' i was born to believe

i never could deceive
