I remember the morning I met you

You said you had something to say

I've heard it before and I'll bet you

I'm used to it and it's okay

I know women and I know what they're after

So I try to keep a little around

This world has got so little laughter

You learn to live without the sound

I'd love to be the youth in your eyes

The truth in the lies that you tell

I'm not gonna mess with the lonely

Secret only time can tell

You know a player's got a few things to count on

He's fortune it comes and it goes

But here's a sensitive heart you can pound on

And a gallant way of taking the blows

I wrote you letters and I knew what to tell you

But they never got off the ground

You thought I had something to sell you

Wasn't the best buy in town

I'd love to be the youth in your eyes

The truth in the lies that you tell

I'm not gonna mess with the lonely

Secret only time can tell

Only time

Only time

Only time

Only time

Only time

Only time

Only time

Only time
