Old Thing, New Thing
Everybody want that old thing
everybody want that new thing too
got me on my Billy Paul ya know…
when love is new, it's perfect it's worth it
those hugs and kisses goodbye got you
feeling like yeah I deserve this
yeah everybody want that old thing back
but want that new love too
nobody told me in order to get that
you gotta sacrifice a piece of you
You want that old thing? they want that old you too
That passion, that desire, that fire, them all nighters
but is it truly sustainable? Obtainable
after so much time has passed?
Married life, kids, careers is it truly meant to last?
I leave that one for you to figure out
yeah I know you can't change the past
but when life comes at you
with uppercuts and haymakers
you got parry wit your own combination
of hooks & jabs
