Saving The Good Stuff For You Richard Thompson

Thompson

I've seen trouble from every direction
My old head is peppered with grey
I could never resist life's temptations
Oh, they just seemed to fall in my way

I've had wives, I treated them badly
And maybe a lover or two
All the time, oh I didn't know it
I was saving the good stuff for you

I was saving the good stuff for you, darling
Saving the good stuff for you
There was some part of me knew, darling
To save the good stuff for you

And I even thought on occasion
It was love that was making me blue
Oh, some kind of love, well I called it love
Maybe fatal attraction will do

Well, I got it all out of my system
My heart it is tested and true
All the time, oh I didn't know it
I was saving the good stuff for you
