You're only as old as your lover
You're only as dark as your dream
Spending your time on women and wine
But they're never as cheap as they seem
No, they're never as cheap as they seem
I used to think I was a young man
Until you walked in here tonight
With your dress cut so low, darling, I grew so old
That I wished I could lay down and die
Yes, I wished I could lay down and die
And nobody loves you like I do
And Lord knows the night is so long
And darling, I already know what your name is
It's always the same as some old, lonesome song
Yes, the same as some old, lonesome song
You're never as tall as your talk is
You're never as clever or brave
So soulful and wise next to most other guys
But you're only as deep as your grave
Yes, you're only as deep as your grave
And nobody loves you like I do
And Lord knows the night is so long
And darling, I already know what your name is
It's always the same as some old, lonesome song
Yeah, the same as some old, lonesome song
