The Man I Used to Be

John Kelly, Paul Brady

I saw us dancing in a dream last night
Just like we used to do when it was me and you
I heard you whisper 'Can you feel my heart?'
Like we would never part

I know I've only got myself to blame
I saw an open door and I just wanted more
I made my move, I left you standing there

The world was waiting for a boy like me
Gimme! Gimme! I want all that I see
How could I be such a fool?

Oh, the man I used to be
Did me no favour
And it's only now I know, oh, oh
What a wonder is your love
What a wonder is your love

Since you've been gone I've seen so many girls
They captivate my eye but I just walk on by
Behind each face I see an empty space
I look for you inside

I keep on searching every night and day
Hoping the next I see will be the one for me
But all around me it's your memory

If I knew then the things that I know now
Just how precious is a lover's vow
I would not be such a fool

Oh, the man I used to be
Did me no favour
And it's only now I know, oh, oh
What a wonder is your love

All those ruby lips I kissed
Soon lost their flavour
And it's only now I know, oh, oh
What a wonder is your love

What a wonder is your love
I was a fool to lose your love
I went and threw away your love
Oh baby, now I need your love
