I had a dream of us together in a world where we knew what was true

Oh Patti don't lead the life that I left you with

It's been such a long time and I know
We tried together to discover why we failed the test of our time

Oh Patti don't lead the life that they made for you

I'll be gone a long while and you'll know
And don't feel sorry for lover boy

You know he wants the world to love him and then he goes and spoils it all

Don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him then he goes and spoils it all for love
There's no one out here you can listen to and certainly never yourself

Oh Patti don't lead the life that I left you with

Listen to the cars call in the rain

I got so tired of concluding that there's nothing for us to conclude

Oh Patti don't look for certainty in your life

I've gone where a lost cause can be found
And don't feel sorry for lover boy

You know he wants the world to love him and then he goes and spoils it all

Don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him then he goes and spoils it all for love
All for love, little girl
All for love, little girl
(muted trumpet solo)
And don't feel sorry for lover boy

You know he wants the world to love him and then he goes and spoils it all

Don't feel sorry for lover boy

He wants the world to love him then he goes and spoils it all for love
