Except You
Thought I had you in the palm of my hand
'Cause you said I was your loving man
Thought I was the king of the world
'Cause you told me you'd be my girl
But that was a long time ago
When in winter the grass was green
Nothing seem the way it seem
Except you, except you
Thought I was ahead of my time
Love was all I had on my mind
But that was a long time ago
When at night I saw the sun
Nothing and, oh, nothing
Except you, except you, babe
You have dreams and schemes
But life was a burning cinder
All I needed was you, out of sight
And I can tell her, ooh
Look at all the things that I own
A house, a car, a paid up loan
Flowers blooming in my yard
And I knew it wouldn't be so hard
But that was a long time ago
When the rain was so fresh and clear
All I wanted was right here
Except you, babe
Except you, except you, babe
Ooh, except you, ooh, babe
'Cause you said I was your loving man
Thought I was the king of the world
'Cause you told me you'd be my girl
But that was a long time ago
When in winter the grass was green
Nothing seem the way it seem
Except you, except you
Thought I was ahead of my time
Love was all I had on my mind
But that was a long time ago
When at night I saw the sun
Nothing and, oh, nothing
Except you, except you, babe
You have dreams and schemes
But life was a burning cinder
All I needed was you, out of sight
And I can tell her, ooh
Look at all the things that I own
A house, a car, a paid up loan
Flowers blooming in my yard
And I knew it wouldn't be so hard
But that was a long time ago
When the rain was so fresh and clear
All I wanted was right here
Except you, babe
Except you, except you, babe
Ooh, except you, ooh, babe
