Lyrics Not Too Long Ago - Nick Lowe

Not Too Long Ago

We used to go out to party’s and shows
Back when she really, really loved me so
Then he came along like a stormy sea
Not too long ago, now she don’t love me anymore
And we would walk ‘neath the tall oak tree
Talkin' ‘bout how happy, how happy we would be
Then he came along like a devil in disguise
Not too long ago, now I got tears in my eyes
She always said I was her world
And our love would never die
She always said we’d ever be as a one
But she left me for lettin' my heart to cry
Now I’m so lonely, lonely and blue
‘Cause there’s nobody that I can turn to
I just let her get away from me
Not too long ago and she don’t want me anymore
Not too long ago and now I’m in a misery
Not too long ago
Well, I thought I had a true fine love
But I was wrong, wrong, so wrong ‘cause I lost it
And now I feel the sting of bitter tears in my eyes
Salt water tears in my eyes ‘cause I lost it not too long ago
