Ian Hunter - Sons N' Lovers lyrics

(Ian Hunter)

I was your baby-you were my girl

When I asked you to marry me- the tears fell

Sons N' lovers, sons n' lovers, waving

My childhood goodbye-it seems so sad

Well how long have you been my best friend

This won't be the end of

Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers--she won't wanna talk anymore about it

You were my lady- I was your number one

When I said I was leaving- tears run

Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers, breakin'

Tryin' not to hurt each others hearts

Well how long can we exist- I know

We can't go on like this

Sons n' lovers-son's and lovers--I don't wanna lie anymore

Was that you I saw--walkin' out along the shore

Was that you I saw-talkin' to him

Was that you i saw-puttin' his hands in yours

Thats alright ma- you can still love him

Thats alright ma- you can still love

And through the years-you know- we will remember

Time will never take old times away

How long for you to discover that- there still some strings attached to

Sons n' lovers-sons and lovers

But I don't wanna play anymore

Sons n' lovers
