[Verse 1]
I'm not some long lost someone
Just dropped in to say hello
It's the same old lover man, baby
Lost so long ago
'Cause I was born to believe
I never could deceive, believe me

[Verse 2]
I hear no children's voices
Have they gone back to school?
And that same old lover man, baby
Is still acting like some kind of fool
I guess I was born to believe
I never could deceive, believe me

[Bass Solo]

[Verse 3]
It's cold outside your window
Please let me in, the night is wild
It's the same old lover man, baby
Not some lonesome winsome child
Yes, I was born to bring you grief
Though I never was a thief
[Verse 4]
It's the same old lover man, baby
I just dropped in to say, "What's new?"
I guess I was born to believe
I never could deceive, believe me
