The Raw & The Cooked

Never had the good things only money could buy
I'd drive my car but i haven't got a car to drive
Never had a holiday in a tropical sun
Good times look rough they're never going to come
Oh i know these times are bad
And they make you want to cry
Don't be sad
We'll get by
Baby baby don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby baby don't look back
I'm going to leave and i think that you should

When i spent my life
In a place like this
On the first bus out
I'm going to get myself a lift
If you understand
Well that's alright
If you want to go
It's got to be tonight

Oh i know these times are bad
And it makes you want to cry
Don't feel sad
We'll get by
Baby baby don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby baby don't look back
I'm going to leave and i think that you should

Never had the good things only money could buy
I'd drive my car but i haven't got a car to drive

Oh i know these times are bad
And they make you want you to cry
Don't be sad
We'll get by
Baby baby don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby baby don't look back
I'm going to leave and i think that you should

Baby baby don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby baby don't look back
I'm going to leave and i think that you should
Baby baby don't look back
Baby baby don't look back
Baby baby don't look back

I'll never be far from home
Talkin' on the telephone
You told me it's over, you made up your mind,
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind
I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain

Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again

Nomatter what you say, it hurts
You didn't had to make it worse
It wouldn't be better as you told me yourself,
Instead that you left to somebody else

Maybe i could understand
You'd been staying with another man
Day isn't long and nights can be lonely
I wasn't there and you needed to hold me

I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain

Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again

I'll never be far from home
Talkin' on the telephone
You told me it's over, you made up your mind.
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind.

I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain

Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am

When i'm in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there's a feeling i can't accept
There's one thing that helps me to forget
Wonder what i'm thinking
Wonder why i'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man i used to be

If life were easy and didn't ask,
Didn't tease me or take things back
I could start to understand,
What makes me the man i am

Wonder what i'm thinking
Wonder why i'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man i used to be

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I'm not the man i used to be

I've lost dreams that won't come back,
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones i have
What's the use?
Most of them are bad

Wonder what i'm thinking
Wonder why i'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man i used to be

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I can't explain
But i'm not the man i used to be
It's a shame, don't know my name
I can't explain
I'm not the man i used to be
Do you know my name?
Do you, do you need me?
But i'm not the man...
