Richard Thompson - Saving The Good Stuff For You Lyrics

I've seen trouble from every direction
My old head is peppered with grey
I could never resist life's temptations
They just seemed to fall in my way
I've had wives, I treated them badly
And maybe a lover or two
All the time, I didn't know it
I Was Saving The Good Stuff For You

[Chorus:]
I Was Saving The Good Stuff For You, darling
I Was 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
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, I didn't know it
I Was Saving The Good Stuff For You

[Chorus]

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 got 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, I didn't know it
I Was Saving The Good Stuff For You

[Chorus]
