The One Who Loves You Now
Love's Evolution: Aging Reflections and Regrets
Lyrics
Once you stole away with
Once you took away someone
A new girl to play with
A new person to be with casually
Breaking each and every vow
Breaking promises and commitments
But she's ageing badly and you realize sadly
Realizing with regret that she is aging poorly
She's the one who loves you now
The person you took for granted is the one who loves you now
What became of old love
What happened to the past love
Love that you gave the shove
The love that you ended abruptly
Love you called the old sow
Referring to the dismissed love in a derogatory manner
Well she's causing hunger
Current love is causing emotional hunger
Looking ten years younger
Appearing more attractive and vibrant
Than the one who loves you now
Compared to the one who loves you now
So you plumb your shallows
Exploring the superficial aspects of your emotions
As you murmur ‘hello'
Greeting the new person with a casual "hello"
Hoping there won't be a row
Hoping to avoid conflict or disagreement
But she just smiles in pity
Current love reacts with sympathy
At the sagging diddies
Noting the physical effects of aging on the previous love
Of the one who loves you now
Highlighting the contrast with the current lover
You could do as you please
Option to pursue new relationships
Find yourself a new squeeze
Suggesting taking advantage of personal skills and knowledge
Make the most of your know how
Emphasizing the importance of cherishing current love
Or you could just grow up
Advocating maturity and gratitude
Give some thanks for your luck
Expressing gratitude for good fortune
And love the one who loves you now
Encouraging love and appreciation for the current partner
