Jaded Lover Songtext
von Jerry Jeff Walker

Well now it won′t be but a week or two
And you'll be out lovin′ someone new
Must have happened a hundred times before
But I can see you been spreadin' yourself thin too
It's a lonely stage we′ve been goin′ through
Well don't get up I can find my own way to the door

Well I can see you are an angel whose wings just won′t unfold
Tune up your harp, polish your old halo
Yeah the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Was one that you knew you'd never hold very long
Sittin′ there cryin' like I′m the first one to go

Yeah you may have thirty lovers behind you
Yeah, I can feel you but I sure can't find you
Seems like you would have found your own self by now
But late at night your old lover's tears come back
Faces in your dreams, fingers in your back
Voices of the memories cryin′ out loud


Now I can see you are an angel whose wings just won′t unfold
Tune up your harp, polish your old halo
Yeah the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Was one that you knew you'd never hold very long
Sittin′ there cryin' like I′m the first one to go

Ah what a joyous sight to see you in your sleep
Now I believe I'm leavin′ I'm in too deep
And that seems easy enough for a man to say
But we would never agree if we talked all night
Things are gettin' heavy, I′m traveling light
Goodbye jaded lover you undercover queen for a day

And I can see you are an angel whose wings just won′t unfold
Tune up your harp, polish your old halo
And the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Was one that you knew you'd never hold very long
Sittin′ there cryin' like I′m the first one to go
You keep sittin' there cryin′ like I'm the first one to go
Think about it darlin'
