| Can you believe it,
|
| I’ve won no medals
|
| In this love game.
|
| I’ve been resting on my laurels,
|
| I’m a bad loser,
|
| I’m a yard off my pace.
|
| I smell rubber
|
| And I soon discover
|
| That you’re gone for good.
|
| My indiscretions
|
| Made a bad impression,
|
| Guess I was misunderstood.
|
| I thought you needed my lovin',
|
| But it’s my heart that you stole.
|
| I thought you wanted my money,
|
| But you plundered my soul.
|
| (Plundered my soul)
|
| I started askin' around,
|
| But your friends'
|
| Pretty lips were sealed.
|
| I wrote a letter
|
| Full of trite confessions
|
| About wounds that heal.
|
| I heard some gossip,
|
| You’d become an alcoholic,
|
| You were dryin' out.
|
| So I phoned every clinic
|
| In the Yellow Pages,
|
| Not a trace I found.
|
| I thought you needed my lovin',
|
| But it’s my heart that you stole.
|
| I thought you wanted my money,
|
| But you plundered my soul.
|
| (Plundered my soul)
|
| I hate quittin',
|
| But I’m close to admittin'
|
| I’m a sorry case.
|
| But on quiet reflection,
|
| My sad rejection’s
|
| Not a total disgrace.
|
| But I do miss your quick repartee
|
| And the smile
|
| That lights up your face.
|
| You’ll be a hard act to follow,
|
| A bitter pill to swallow,
|
| You’ll be tough, you’ll be tough to replace.
|
| I thought you wanted my lovin',
|
| But it’s my heart that you stole.
|
| You were a trick up my sleeve,
|
| My ace in the hole.
|
| I thought you wanted my money,
|
| But you plundered my soul.
|
| Oh, plundered my soul
|
| Oh yeah (plundered my soul)
|
| You plundered my soul
|
| Yeah, yeah (plundered my soul)
|
| Oh, yes, yes, yes you, baby
|
| (Plundered my soul) |
