Pete Townshend - Now and Then lyrics

You can't do a thing about it

In you I saw someone that I recognized

Had no idea what was in your mind

I met your eyes and I was hypnotized

I let our lives become entwined

I feel so badly darlin' all the time

I have tortured yo uso long

But I am helpless in this pantomime

I am aware that I was wrong

Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love

You can't do a thing about it

For though you knew that I was twice your age

To make you laugh seemed you enough

I thought we'd love and then and then you'd turn the page

I'd have to suffer your rebuff

And it was me who had the most to gain

Despite the fact that I now have lost

The only love that ever caused me pain

I feel like a double head was tossed

Now and the you see a soul and you fall in love

And you can't do a thing about it
