Lyrics
These Things
CHORUS: These things, these wonderful things.
Things you've always wanted from me.
They could have been yours.
But you could not wait.
Now somebody else has taken your place.
It could have been you.
Verse 1: There was a time when life was hard.
So I worked everyday to bring us a better life,
but it was too slow to gratify.
So you lost the dream and left me cold for another man.
CHORUS: .......................
Verse 2: Didn't he tell you he was married,
When he had you convinced that I was no good and that
he was the one to give you all that you needed.
But where is he now?
CHORUS: ........................
Bridge: It's good that you left me anyway.
Cause your love for things was greater than your love for me
And now you come begging me to take you back.
I would be a fool to let you have what you don't deserve.
CHORUS: These things these wonderful things.
Things I worked hard to gain, they could have been your baby,
but you couldn't wait.
Now somebody else has taken your place.
It could have been you.
