Lyrics
*** The Only Lover That I Ever Knew ***
I tell ya honey, you got me on the run,
I'm tryin' to face up to everything I've done.
It's not so easy makin' up with you,
the only lover I ever knew.
It's all too easy to be misunderstood,
and never takin' the time to do something good
and after all the things I put you through
the only lover that I ever knew
(REPEAT)
And so I had to write a letter
,
to tell you how I feel
I can't take one more lonesome day.
If we could pick up all the pieces and make a new deal,
then we'd sure be well on our way.
Gonna try a little harder to make a new start,
show ya what's dep down in my heart,
so now the distance between us won't seem so much,
cause I'll be countin' down the hours, till I feel your touch.
Let me tell ya what I promise to do,
I'll make it all up to you.
