Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Same Old Loverman

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
