I had a lover    prettiest thing I ever seen    Just like all good things   There was a day she went away    Had the best mother that a man could have   And my family understands    When I see Daddy, my Daddy    I say to myself    He's a hell of a man    So I'm sittin' here    Thinkin' about    How we used to be together    And it's a lonesome road    Even I    Tell you that you don't live forever    No you don't live forever    Listen to me baby    What I'm tryin' to say    I can't understand it    When you treat me this way
