Old lovers

Old lovers ... It’s always the same old lovers ...
Faces from the past
You can understand how you once felt so helpless
Old lovers ... didn’t catch the name, old lovers
But I know the smile
It seems like it happened a lifetime away

Once you’re a lover you’re always a lover
And whatetever you say
Something rubbed off when you brushed up against her
And it’s something that never goes away

Old lovers ... You thought  they were just old lovers ...
But it’s more somehow
There is something unspoken, a memory that lingers
Old lovers don’t go away
Old lovers from another age
Come back uninvited time after time

Once you’re a lover you’re always a lover
And whatetever you say
Something rubbed off when you brushed up against her
And it’s something that never goes away
