Allan Taylor - For What It's Worth lyrics

rate me

We send our postcars saying wish you were here.

Then made love under the portmouth peer.

I got it wrong and you started to cry.

I said I loved you but it was a lie.

You were gentle and I was rough,

I was talking big and acting tough.

Now I've forgotten your name, it was so long ago,

When we were two young kids ...

no place to go … no place to go …

We lost touch, I had the world to see.

I didn't think of you, did you think of me?

When you fell in love, was he good and kind

Like I should've been for your first time?

I should've got you a ring

From the trinket store

And drawn a heart with an arrow

On the portmouth wall.

Maybe got you a flower to wave in your hair.

I should have done something that was tender

To show that I care … to show that I care.

That's the way life sometimes goes.

How thing can change nobody knows.

For what it's worth and come what may,

I'm feeling bad when I think of that day.

Young love should be pure and true,

I should have been so good for you!

Do you remember the kid who got it all wrong?

Well that kid's now a man and he's writing this song.

I'm composing these words, trying to tell you somehow,

I didn't love you then – but I love you now …

I love you now!

That's the way life sometimes goes.

How thing can change nobody knows.

Nobody knows ... nobody knows ...

How things can change ... nobody knows ...
