You treated me hard and made my heart ache

I know you're only human, and men they make mistakes

Your life with her turned to black

And now you want our love back

Well come into my arms and fall, my lover man



Was it a gypsy's curse or a hex sign

Or was it just that simple thing that led you from these arms of mine

Oh yes, I've had the days

To grow used to your foolish ways

And what is it really, after all, my lover man



I can see the change in your eyes

There's no need to apologize

We stood at the wishing well

Our dreams like coins into the water fell

The water so cold and black

There was no going back



I don't mean to cause you hurt or cause you pain

Life is short and love's a dirty game

Now there's no need for our game to end

Come close and we'll begin

To find our beautiful selves again, my lover man

My lover man
