Corey Ross Poet Lyric

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
