I was thinking just the other day about you and me
How we traveled as a team from town to town
On the roads and on the highways settling where we pleased
Till I foolishly let go and let you down
I assumed that there was something bigger than our good times
Something sweeter than the simple life we shared
So many years I’ve moved along searching for that something
Now I see just what a fool I was to scare
CH:
And the world is like a carnival
It sometimes don’t seem fair
But still I suit up like a queen and take my chances there
And I go round and round and round and round
And round and round again
But I’ll never find another man like you
Now I think upon your funny face and your smile revealing
How you gave me everything without a fight
And I hear that you are damaged goods, in that place I left you
So I hate myself for wronging what was right
You know I’ve had myself so many men
I’ve loved ‘em and I’d leave ‘em
Though I’ve tried no one can quite compare to you
And I’ve had my share of heartache
For sometimes they’d leave me grieving
On those days I turn my thoughts to what I knew
