(ian hunter)

I was your baby-you were my girl
When i asked you to marry me- the tears fell

Sons n' lovers, sons n' lovers, waving
My childhood goodbye-it seems so sad
Well how long have you been my best friend
This won't be the end of
Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers--she won't wanna talk anymore about it

You were my lady- i was your number one
When i said i was leaving- tears run

Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers, breakin'
Tryin' not to hurt each others hearts
Well how long can we exist- i know
We can't go on like this
Sons n' lovers-son's and lovers--i don't wanna lie anymore

Was that you i saw--walkin' out along the shore
Was that you i saw-talkin' to him
Was that you i saw-puttin' his hands in yours
Thats alright ma- you can still love him
Thats alright ma- you can still love
And through the years-you know- we will remember
Time will never take old times away
How long for you to discover that- there still some strings attached to
Sons n' lovers-sons and lovers
But i don't wanna play anymore
Sons n' lovers
