Lyrics

You treated me hard and made my heart ache
I know you’re only human, and men they make mistakes
Your life with her turned to black
And now you want our love back
Well come into my arms and fall, my lover man

Was it a gypsy’s curse or a hex sign
Or was it just that simple thing that led you from these arms of mine
Oh yes, I’ve had the days
To grow used to your foolish ways
And what is it really, after all, my lover man

I can see the change in your eyes
There’s no need to apologize
We stood at the wishing well
Our dreams like coins into the water fell
The water so cold and black
There was no going back

I don’t mean to cause you hurt or cause you pain
Life is short and love’s a dirty game
Now there’s no need for our game to end
Come close and we’ll begin
To find our beautiful selves again, my lover man
My lover man
My lover man
