I'm not some long lost someone, just dropped in to say hello.
It's that same old lover man you lost so long ago.
Cause I was born to believe, I never could deceive, believe me.

I hear no children's voices, have they gone back to school?
And that same old lover man is still acting like a fool.
Yes, I was born to bring you grief, though I never was a thief, believe me.

It's cold outside your window, please let me in, the night is wild.
It's that same old lover man, not some lonesome, winsome child.
And I was born to believe, I never could deceive.
It's that same old lover man, just dropped in to say, ‘what’s new?’
Yes, I was born to bring you grief, though I never was a thief, believe me
