saving the good stuff for you

i've seen trouble from every direction

my old head is peppered with grey

i could never resist life's temptations

oh

they just seemed to fall in my way

i've had wives

i treated them badly

and maybe a lover or two

all the time

oh i didn't know it

i was saving the good stuff for you

i was saving the good stuff for you

darling

saving the good stuff for you

there was some part of me knew

darling

to save the good stuff for you

and i even thought on occasion

it was love that was making me blue

oh

some kind of love

well i called it love

maybe fatal attraction will do

well

i got it all out of my system

my heart it is tested and true

all the time

oh i didn't know it

i was saving the good stuff for you

i was saving the good stuff for you

darling

saving the good stuff for you

there was some part of me knew

darling

to save the good stuff for you

i'm glad that you never did know me

when i was out of control

i was hollow right there in the middle

some people got sucked in the hole

but i cut myself loose from the old ways

and you're all that i'm clinging to

all the time

oh i didn't know it

i was saving the good stuff for you

i was saving the good stuff for you

darling

saving the good stuff for you

there was some part of me knew

darling

to save the good stuff for you

oh

i'm saving the good stuff for you
