1994 Cosyng Music / BMI I used to be what we call single I excelled at the late night love talk If you don't have to mean what you say I could say a lot. If I didn't have to account, I could count you all the ways If I could already see where it was going I could always say I'd stay I used to have what we call all the options A lot of who-knows and maybe-next-times What could not tie me down, I could hold that line If I didn't have to really come through, I could be there whenever they need I could drive all night, they could rest on my shoulder When it's over I could always leave Its the always, the forevers They comfort and then they'll haunt you With the late night love talk Hoping someone will want you I used to think I could live my life swept off my feet Now there are promises I don't make There are private things I keep Like just how I would go on, if you and I could not I used to be what I called single I know the late night love talk
