I'm not some long lost someone

Just dropped in to say hello

It's that same old lover man

Baby you lost so long ago

'Cause I was born to believe

I never could deceive

Believe me 

I hear no children's voices

Have they gone back to school

And that same old lover man

Is still acting like a fool

I guess I was born to bring you grief

Though I never was a thief

Believe me 



It's cold outside your window

Please let me in, the night is wild

It's that same old lover man

Not some lonesome winsome child

An' I was born to believe

I never could deceive
