SAME OLD LOVERMAN

Gordon Lightfoot
 1971

also recorded by
Waylon Jennings - 1971


I'm not some long lost someone
Just dropped in to say hello
It's the same old loverman, baby
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 loverman, baby
Is still acting like some kind of fool
Guess I was born to believe
I never could deceive, believe me.

(bridge)

It's cold outside your window
Please let me in, the night is wild
It's the same old loverman, baby
Not some lonesome winsome child
Guess I was born to bring grief
Though I never was a thief.

It's the same old loverman, baby
I just dropped in to say what's new
Guess I was born to believe
I never could deceive, believe me.
