Boy, I used to be was upstairs
|
The girl of my dreams was making herself heard
|
She could talk for hours on end
|
The girl of my dreams and never say a word
|
|
She wanted things that I couldn't afford
|
Like a house filled with laughter every night
|
She wanted things that I couldn't afford
|
|
Boy, I used to be got along
|
Said the right thing to make a dream girl go
|
She was gone before I woke up
|
Now I'm downtown putting on a show
|
|
I wanted things that I couldn't afford
|
Like to get along with everybody all the time
|
I wanted things that I couldn't afford
|
Like love, like love, like love
|
Like love, like love, like love
|
|
Boy, that I still am tells a joke
|
New girl of my dreams doesn't even think to laugh
|
We are all alone in this world
|
From cradle to grave and maybe after that
|
|
We all want things that we'll never afford
|
Like a house filled with laughter every night
|
All of these things that we'll never afford
|
Like love, like love, like love
|
Like love, like love, like love
|
Like love, like love, like love
|
|

|
Like Love
