Rory Gallagher

Used to Be

Baby I no longer wanna be, just a thorn in your side.

Tell me what you gave me baby, and I will give you back.

The troubles you gave me, gonna wrap em' up in a box,

Tie em' up with string, send em' back to you,

They no longer mean a thing to me.

Better get used to bein' my used to be.

Baby I no longer wanna be, just a cushion for your pride.

Here's my fastback baby, this man's got a ride away.

Before you make me change my mind,

I'll be gone before you notice, that I'm not around.

You'll look everywhere baby, but I just won't be found.

Better get used to bein' my used to be.

I used to be the hands of your clock baby,

But I always knew in time.

I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby,

And you would change your mind.

Owww...

I used to be the hands of your clock baby,

But I always knew in time.

I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby,

And you would suddenly change your mind.

Owww...

Baby I remember a time when you, really used to try.

But now-a-days baby, you can't even look me in the eye.

Your love is drifting with the tide.

Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me.

I'll just move on down, I'm sure that you'll agree.

Better get used to bein' my used to be.

Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me.

I'll just move on down the line, I'm sure that you'll agree.

Better get used to bein' my used to be.
