Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

The One Who Loves You Now

Once you stole away with

A new girl to play with

Breaking each and every vow

But she's ageing badly

And you realize sadly

She's the one who loves you now

What became of old love

Love that you gave the shove

Love you called the old sow

Well she's causing hunger

Looking ten years younger

Than the one who loves you now

So you plumb your shallows

As you murmur ‘hello'

Hoping there won't be a row

But she just smiles in pity

At the sagging diddies

Of the one who loves you now

You could do as you please

Find yourself a new squeeze

Make the most of your know how

Or you could just grow up

Give some thanks for your luck

And love the one who loves you now
