Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Hope You Like The New Me

I stole your style, hope you don't mind

I must try to be all I can be

It suits me more than it ever suited you

Hope you like the new me

And I stole your laugh so bright and breezy

It stops parties in mid-air

It makes me feel more devil may care

Hope you like the new me

Hope you like the new me

We all need friends to lean on

Any time, any place, anywhere

Feel free to lean on me

But please, don't do it right now

Yes, I'm much too busy right now

And I stole your walk, the one with purpose

It says there is no mountain I can't climb

It fools people all of the time

Hope you like the new me

And I stole your jokes, just the good ones

How the gang all laughed with glee

I also stole the way that you tell them

Hope you like the new me

Hope you like the new me

To steal is to flatter, what a compliment to pay

All those things that I stole from you

Well, I might give them back someday

Yes, I really might someday

And I stole your wife, hope you don't mind

She was looking bored, don't you think?

Soon have her back in the pink

Stop by and see us for tea

And I stole your soul when you weren't looking

I reached inside and cut it free

It suits me more than it's ever suited you

Hope you like the new me

Hope you like the new me
