Don't know what I was looking for But I seem to find it all in you Forget the past, we'll close that door Whatever you've been through We said there'd be no secrets No skeletons under the bed No little sudden surprises From the colourful lives that we led You say you love me You kiss me goodnight I know that everything should be all right But the ghosts of your former lovers Still haunt me in my sleep I've been counting them Instead of counting sheep Don't know why, but it seems That the ghosts of your former lovers Keep coming back to me I don't understand, but it feels like jealousy If it's only a dream Then in the cold daylight You'll be lying there for me Maybe then, they'll go away But they'll be back eventually You always say that the others Were just water under the bridge But there were more men Stuck on you, darling Than magnets to the fridge You say you love me And you kiss me goodnight I know that everything should be all right But the ghosts of your former lovers Still haunt me now and then And I hate to think of you with one of them Don't know why, but it seems That the ghosts of your former lovers Will never let me be Was there something you gave them You don't give me? But it's only a dream There's not a single detail That I don't know about But you are still like a drug That I could never live without You say you love me And you kiss me goodnight And for a little while, I'll be all right Until the ghosts of your former lovers Start coming back to me I don't understand, but it feels like jealousy Don't know why, but it seems That the ghosts of your former lovers Will never let me be Was there something you gave them You don't give me? And I don't wanna dream About the ghosts of your former lovers The ghosts of your former lovers The ghosts of your former lovers
