Not Too Long Ago - Nick Lowe, Los Straitjackets

We used to go out to parties and shows

Back when she really really loved me so

Then he came along like a stormy sea

Not too long ago

Now she don’t love me anymore

And we would walk 'neath the tall oak tree

Talking 'bout how happy how happy we would be

Then he came along like a devil in disguise

Not too long ago

Now I got tears in my eyes

She always said I was her world

And our love would never die

She always said we’d ever be as one

But she left flat, my heart to cry

Now I’m so lonely

Lonely and blue

'Cause there’s nobody I can turn to

I just let her get away from me

Not too long ago

Now she don’t want me anymore

Not too long ago

And now I’m in a misery

Not too long ago

I thought I had a true fine love

But I was wrong, wrong, so wrong

Cause I lost it

And now I feel the sting of bitter tears in my eyes

Salt water tears in my eyes

Cause I lost it

Not too long ago
