Ian Hunter - Sons N' Lovers Lyrics

I was your baby and you were my girl
When I asked you to marry me
The tears fell, the tears fell, the tears fell

Sons n' lovers, sons n' lovers, wavin'
My childhood goodbye, it seems so sad
(Well, how long, well, how long)
How long have you been my best friend
This won't be the end of sons n' lovers, sons n' lovers
She don't wanna talk anymore about it

And you were my lady, I was your number one
When they said you were leaving
The tears run, the tears run, the tears run

Sons n' lovers, sons n' lovers, breakin'
Tryin' not to hurt each others hearts
(Well, how long, well, how long)
How long could we exist I know
We can't go on like this, sons n' lovers, sons n' lovers
I don't wanna lie anymore

Was that you I saw walkin' out along the shore
Was that you I saw talkin' to him
Was that you I saw puttin' his hands in yours
That's alright, ma, you can still love him
That's alright, ma, you can still love him

And through the years you know we will remember
Times will never take old times away
(Well, how long, well, how long)
How long for you to discover that
There still some strings attached to sons n' lovers, sons and lovers
I don't wanna play anymore

Sons n' lovers
(Sons n' lovers)
Sons n' lovers
Sons n' lovers
(Sons n' lovers)
Sons n' lovers

Sons n' lovers
(Sons n' lovers)
Sons n' lovers
Sons n' lovers
(Sons n' lovers)
Sons n' lovers

Sons n' lovers
(Sons n' lovers)
Sons n' lovers
Sons n' lovers
(Sons n' lovers)
Sons n' lovers

Sons n' lovers
(Sons n' lovers)
Sons n' lovers
