Faust Paul Williams

[Verse 1]
I was not myself last night
Couldn't set things right
With apologies or flowers
Out of place as a crying clown
Who could only frown
And the play went on for hours
And as I lived my role
I swore I'd sell my soul

[Chorus 1]
For one love who would stand by me
(Who would stand by me)
And give me back the gift of laughter
(Laughter, yeah)
Yeah, one love who would stand by me
(Who would stand by me)
And after making love
We'd dream a bit of style
(Dream) We'd dream a bunch of friends
Dream each other's smile
(Dream) And dream it never ends

[Verse 2]
I was not myself last night
In the morning light
I could see the change was showing
Like a child who was always poor
Reaching out for more
I could feel the hunger growing
And as I lost control
I swore I'd sell my soul
