Same Old Lover Man

(Gordon Lightfoot)



I'm not some long lost someone

Just dropped in to say hello

I'm the same old lover man

Baby, lost so long ago.

'Cause I was born to believe

I never could deceive, believe me.



I hear no children's voices

Have they gone back to school

It's the same old lover man

Baby, still actin' like some kinda fool.

Yes, I was born to believe

I never could deceive, believe me.



--- Instrumental ---



It's cold outside your window

Please let me in the night is wild

I'm the same old lover man

Baby, not some lonesome innocent child.



Yes, I was born to bring a grief

Though I never was a thief

I'm the same old lover man

Baby, just dropped in to say what's new.



Yes, I was born to bring a grief

I never could deceive, believe me...
