Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I had a dream of us together

In a world where we knew what was true

Oh Patti don't lead the life that I left you with

It's been such a long time and I know

[Verse 2]

We tried together to discover why we failed the test of our time

Oh, Patti don't lead the life that they made for you

I'll be gone a long while and you'll know

[Verse 3]

And don't feel sorry for lover boy

You know he wants the world to live him

And then he goes and spoils it all

Don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him

Then he goes and spoils it all for love

[Verse 4]

There's no one out here you can listen to

And certainly never yourself

Oh, Patti don't lead the life that I left you with

Listen to the cars call in the rain

I got so tired of concluding that there's nothing for us to conclude

Oh, Patti don't look for certainty in your life

I've gone where a lost cause can be found

[Verse 5]

And don't feel sorry for lover boy

You know he wants the world to love him

Then he goes and spoils it all

Don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him

Then he goes and spoils it all for love

All for love, little girl

All for love, little girl

All for love

[Verse 6]

And don't feel sorry for lover boy

You know he wants the world to love him

And then he goes and spoils it all

Don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him

Don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him

Oh, and don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him

Then he goes and spoils it all

Don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him

Then he goes and spoils it all for love
