I had a lover, the prettiest thing you'll ever see
But like all good things, there was a day she went away
Had the best mother that a man could have
And my family could understand
When I see Daddy, my daddy
I say to myself, he's a hell of a man

So I'm sittin here, thinkin bout
How we used to be together
And it's a lonesome road
But even I can tell you that you don't live forever
No you don't live forever....

So I'm sittin here, thinkin bout
How we used to be together
And it's a lonesome road
But even I can tell you that you don't live forever
No you don't live forever

Listen to me baby
What I'm tryin to say
I can't understand it
When you treat me this way
