Same Old Loverman Songtext

von Gordon Lightfoot

I'm not some long lost someone, just dropped in to say hello.
It's that same old lover man 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.
Yes, 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.
And I was born to believe, I never could deceive.
It's that same old lover man, just dropped in to say, ?what's new??
Yes, I was born to bring you grief, though I never was a thief, believe me.
