1994 Cosyng Music / BMI
I used to be what we call single
I excelled at the late night love talk
If you don't have to mean what you say
I could say a lot.
If I didn't have to account, I could count you all the ways
If I could already see where it was going
I could always say I'd stay
I used to have what we call all the options
a lot of who-knows and maybe-next-times
what could not tie me down, I could hold that line
If I didn't have to really come through,
I could be there whenever they need
I could drive all night, they could rest on my shoulder
when it's over I could always leave
Its the always, the forevers
they comfort and then they'll haunt you
with the late night love talk
hoping someone will want you
I used to think I could live my life swept off my feet
now there are promises I don't make
there are private things I keep
Like just how I would go on, if you and I could not
I used to be what I called single
I know the late night love talk
