I'm not some long lost someone, just dropped in to say hello. It's that same old lover man you 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? And that same old lover man is still acting like a fool. Yes, I was born to bring you grief, though I never was a thief, believe me.
It's cold outside your window, please let me in, the night is wild. It's that same old lover man, not some lonesome, winsome child. And I was born to believe, I never could deceive. It's that same old lover man, just dropped in to say, ‘what’s new?’ Yes, I was born to bring you grief, though I never was a thief, believe me
