Used to Be Songtext
von Rory Gallagher

Baby, I no longer wanna be just a thorn in your side
Tell me what you gave me, baby, and I will give you back
The troubles you gave me

Gonna wrap ′em up in a box
Tie 'em up with string
Send ′em back to you
They no longer mean a thing to me
Better get used to bein' my used to be

Baby, I no longer wanna be just a cushion for your pride
Here's my fastback, baby, this man′s gotta ride away
Before you make me change my mind

I′ll be gone before you notice
That I'm not around
You′ll look everywhere, baby
But I just won't be found
Better get used to bein′ my used to be


I used to be the hands of your clock, baby
But I always knew in time
I'd no longer be the key to your lock, baby
And you would change your mind
Yeah

I used to be the hands of your clock, baby
But I always knew in time
I′d no longer be the key to your lock, baby
And you would suddenly change your mind
Aw!

Baby, I remember a time when you really used to try
But nowdays, baby, you can't even look me in the eye
Your love is drifting with the tide

Well, I ain't gonna blame you
If you ain′t gonna blame me
I′ll just move on down, I'm sure that you′ll agree
Get used to bein' my used to be

I ain′t gonna blame you
If you ain't gonna blame me
I′ll just move on down the line, I'm sure that you'll agree
Better get used to bein′ my used to be
