You found your greener pastures in a mansion on the hill
|
With a flashy foreign car to drive and lots of time to kill
|
|
But my mind will long remember the days of me and you
|
When we were down to nothing, nothin' sure looked good on you.
|
|
You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
|
And through the days of dark and rain we could always live on love
|
|
With his style in life he lured you and you could not refuse
|
But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you.

|
When you honeymooned in Paris it was carried on the news
|
And I heard you laughed your cares away on a Caribbean cruise
|
|
You were always one for dreamin', now your dreams can all come true
|
But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked good on you
|
|
You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
|
And through the days of dark and rain we could always live on love
|
|
With his style in life he lured you and you could not refuse
|
But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you.
|
|
Yes when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you.
