Not Too Long Ago - Nick Lowe

We used to go out to party’s and shows

Back when she really, really loved me so

Then he came along like a stormy sea

Not too long ago, now she don’t love me anymore

And we would walk ‘neath the tall oak tree

Talkin' ‘bout how happy, how happy we would be

Then he came along like a devil in disguise

Not too long ago, now I got tears in my eyes

She always said I was her world

And our love would never die

She always said we’d ever be as a one

But she left me for lettin' my heart to cry

Now I’m so lonely, lonely and blue

‘Cause there’s nobody that I can turn to

I just let her get away from me

Not too long ago and she don’t want me anymore

Not too long ago and now I’m in a misery

Not too long ago

Well, I thought I had a true fine love

But I was wrong, wrong, so wrong ‘cause I lost it

And now I feel the sting of bitter tears in my eyes

Salt water tears in my eyes ‘cause I lost it not too long ago
