I had a lover Prettiest thing I ever seen Just like all good things There was a day she went away Had the best mother that a man could have And my family understands When I see Daddy, my Daddy I say to myself He's a hell of a man So I'm sittin' here Thinkin' about How we used to be together And it's a lonesome road Even I 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
