I have to admit that I am one of the many who thought that a guitar would win him a lady
My teenage years, they were a feminine drought, and I thought that a serenade would help out
It seemed to be working for a couple of years - I wrote a few songs and they wrought a few tears
But when I hit my twenties, it ran out of steam. I seemed to be suffering from romantic fatigue
And I never know which song I should play her, each melody is
A memory of a not-forgotten failure
So when I get out my guitar tonight, to do what I do, remember
I probably didn't write this song for you
(Repeat Intro)
And so as I have mentioned, the shelf-life was short - the scheme wasn't working, despite what I
thought
The ladies all left me alone in the end, so I had to switch the names around and then sing it again
Every life-long-love, and every best friend
Slipped away into the past
Take my words with caution, I can't pretend that you're the first
You won't be the last
Extended):
And I never know which song I should play her, each melody is
A memory of a not-forgotten failure
So when I get out my guitar tonight, to do what I do, remember
I probably didn't write this song
No I certainly didn't write this song
No I never, never wrote a song for you
