You found your greener pastures in a mansion on the hill With a flashy foreign car to drive and lots of time to kill Now my mind keeps on remembering the days of me and you But when we were down to nothing, nothin' sure looked good on you. You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of And through the days of dark and rain we could always live on love With his style in life he lured you and you could not refuse But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you. When you honeymooned in Paris it was carried on the news And I heard you laughed your cares away on a Caribbean cruise You were always one for dreamin', now your dreams can all come true But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked good on you
You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of And through the days of dark and rain we could always live on love With his style in life he lured you and you could not refuse But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you.
