Richard Thompson - Saving The Good Stuff For You lyrics

rate me

I’ve seen trouble from every direction

My old head is peppered with grey

I could never resist life’s temptations

Oh, they just seemed to fall in my way

I’ve had wives and I’ve treated them all badly

Maybe a lover or two

All the time oh I didn’t know it

I was saving the good stuff for you

I was saving the good stuff for you, darling

Saving the good stuff for you

There was some part of me knew, darling,

To save the good stuff for you

And I even thought on occasion

It was love that was making me blue

Oh some kind of love, well I called it love

Maybe fatal attraction will do

Well I got it all out of my system

My heart it is tested and true

All the time oh I didn’t know it

I was saving the good stuff for you

I was saving the good stuff for you, darling

Saving the good stuff for you

There was some part of me knew, darling,

To save the good stuff for you

Now I’m glad that you never did know me

When I was out of control

I was hollow right there in the middle

Some people get sucked in the hole

But I cut myself loose from the old ways

And you’re all that I’m clinging to

All the time oh I didn’t know it

I was saving the good stuff for you

I was saving the good stuff for you, darling

Saving the good stuff for you

There was some part of me knew, darling,

To save the good stuff for you.
