Yeah, yeah I, oh, I'm still alive I, I, I'm still alive Who answers? Son, she said Have I got a little story for you What you thought was your daddy Was nothin' but a While you were sittin'

Thought I'd been touched Thought I'd been kissed Thought I'd been loved But it was nothing, nothing like this There's nothing in my life I'd say I regret But there's something in your eyes that makes me forget The times that I believed that love was good
