| He was lighter on his feet | |
| Just as quick as a sparrow | |
| That was the former me | |
| Since I been here for so long now | |
| Now I think that | |
| I can seeAcquaint myself with that fellow | |
| Who was the former me | |
| Those days have been lost in my mind | |
| A fancy man, | |

| From the dawn to the sunset of my life | |
| It's a truth | |

| Not till later did | |
| I recognize the guy | |
| It was the former me | |
| Those days have been 'bossed in my mind | |
| Fancy man, | |
| I won't deny | |
| When I think about it nowadays | |
| Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible] | |
| Since I been here for so long now | |
| Now I think that | |
| I can seeAcquaint myself with that fellow | |
