I used to be what we call single I excelled at the late night love talk If you don't have to mean what you say I could say a lot. If i didn't have to account, i could count you all the ways If i could already see where it was going I could always say i'd stay I used to have what we call all the options A lot of who-knows and maybe-next-times What could not tie me down, i could hold that line If i didn't have to really come through, I could be there whenever they need I could drive all night, they could rest on my shoulder When it's over i could always leave Its the always, the forevers They comfort and then they'll haunt you With the late night love talk Hoping someone will want you I used to think i could live my life swept off my feet Now there are promises i don't make There are private things i keep Like just how i would go on, if you and i could not I used to be what i called single I know the late night love talk
