Old Boyfriends,
|
Lost in the pocket of your overcoat,
|
Like burned out lite bulbs on a Ferris Wheel.
|
|
Old Boy friends,
|
You remember the kinds of cars they drove,
|
Parking in an orange grove.
|
He fell in love you see,
|
With someone that I used to be.
|
|
Tho I very seldom think of him,
|
Nevertheless sometimes a mannequin's
|
Blue satin dress can make the window
|
Like a dream
|
Ah but now those dreams belong to someone else,
|
Now they talk endlessly
|
In a drawer where I keep
|
All my
|
|
Old Boyfriends
|
Remember when you were burning for them?
|
Why do you keep turning them into
|
Old Boyfriends?
|
They look you up when they're in town
|
To see if they can still burn you down
|
You fell in love you see
|
With someone that I used to be
|
|
Old Boyfriends
|
Turn up every time it rains,
|
Fall out of the pages in a magazine
|
Old Boyfriends.
|
Girls fill up the bars every spring,
|
Not places for remembering.
|
Old boyfriends
|
All my old boyfriends
|
Old boyfriends
|
