Late Great Lover
Love's Downfall: The Late Great Lover's Bittersweet Tale
Lyrics
Before I met you I used to get around
Before I met you, I used to be involved with multiple women.
And I could have most any girl in any town
I had the ability to attract almost any girl in any place I visited.
When I fell for you all my playboy days were through
Once I fell in love with you, my days of being a player ended.
You sure knew just how to tear my playhouse down
You knew precisely how to destroy my carefree lifestyle.
Just call me the late and great lover
I am now referred to as the late and great lover.
Since I lost you I could never love another
Since losing you, I've been unable to love anyone else.
I met my Waterloo when I fell in love with you
When I fell in love with you, it was my downfall or moment of defeat.
Just call me the late and great lover
I am still identified as the late and great lover.

That was a fateful day when I laid eyes on you
The day I first saw you was significant and marked a turning point.
I didn't know that you were a great lover too
I was unaware that you were also highly experienced in love.
And then you said goodbye with a twinkle in your eye
When you said goodbye with a mischievous look, you left with someone new.
Ya walked right out the front door with somebody new
You walked out of the relationship with ease, finding someone else.
Just call me the late and great lover...
I am continually known as the late and great lover.
Just call me the late and great lover
I still carry that title despite the loss of the relationship.
