Lyrics Not Too Long Ago - Nick Lowe, Los Straitjackets

Not Too Long Ago

We used to go out to parties 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
Talking '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 one
But she left flat, my heart to cry
Now I’m so lonely
Lonely and blue
'Cause there’s nobody I can turn to
I just let her get away from me
Not too long ago
Now she don’t want me anymore
Not too long ago
And now I’m in a misery
Not too long ago
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
