Jaded Lover

Well now it won't be but a week or two

'Til you'll be out lovin' someone new

Seems like it's happened a hundred times before

But I can see you been spreadin' yourself too thin

It's a lonely stage that we been goin' through

So don't get up I can find my own way to the door

And I can see you are an angel

With wings that won't unfold

Tune up your harp, polish your old halo

The only kind of man that you ever wanted

Was the one that you knew

You'd never hold very long

Sittin' there cryin', like I'm the first one to go

You may have thirty lovers behind you

I can feel you but I just can't find you

Seems like you would have found

Your own self by now

But late at night those lover's tears come back

Faces in your dreams, fingers in your back

Voices of the memories for cryin' out loud

And I can see you are an angel

With wings that won't unfold

Tune up your harp, polish your old halo

The only kind of man that you ever wanted

Was the one that you knew

You'd never hold very long

Sittin' there cryin', like I'm the first one to go

Well it's a lovely sight to see you in your sleep

I believe I'm leavin', I'm in too deep

I guess that's easy enough for any man to say

Still, we'd never agree if we talked all night

Things are getting heavy and I'm travelling light

Goodbye you jaded lover

You undercover queen for a day

And I can see you are an angel

With wings that won't unfold

Tune up your harp, polish your old halo

The only kind of man that you ever wanted

Was the one that you knew

You'd never hold very long

Sittin' there cryin', like I'm the first one to go
