Man I Used To Love Lyrics

Man I Used To Love lyrics

I could throw my things together

Hustle for the train

Pay my weight in silver

For the last seat on that westbound plane



I would fidget in the taxi

I would pray I find him in

Get down right there on my knees

But where would I begin



There were eyes that seemed to reach me

Arms that opened wide

There were lips that seemed to know me

It was bottled up inside me



It was winter up in Boston

It was springtime in DC

It was June in Chattanooga

It was much too much for me



Now it's a long way, a long way back

To the man I used to love

It's a long way, such a long way back

To the man I used to love



A beautiful thing, liberation

Lets you write your ticket to hell

Offer your own explanation

But the fact is this does not reflect too well on me



Now it's sizzling in Manhattan

And the sirens down below

Are screaming some disaster

Like I don't already know



That my anchor man is leaving me

Closing down the show

There's a preacher on the TV hollering

"Girl, I told you so"



Now it's a long way, a long way back

To the man I used to love

It's a long way, such a long way back

To the man I used to love



Such a long way back

Such a long way back to the man I used to love

It's a long way back, a long way, a long way

Such a long way
