I thought you were a constant in sickness and in health
C Am but everyone wants somebody with energy and wealth
E7 Am Will he have a future? Will he make you fall apart?
E7 Am Will he make you feel like you were young again at heart?
F C Will he be real beautiful & will you be aware
F C Of feelings you were never really sure ... were there?
G But they were.
I thought you were a constant for better and for worse I tried to win you back with words I'd written in ... I saw they didn't touch you in the way that they once would If I could get you back, then I'd do anything I could I know you're pretty busy & it's rarely on your mind but it doesn't matter where I look, you're all that I can find You are.
CHORUS: C Am So take two steps forward & one step back
F C Let's get it on & get back on track
C Am One to the left, then drop your knee
F C Bring yourself on back to me
I thought you were a constant, you said you'd always be You said that "If we ever broke up, it would be because of me." I know that you resent me, you couldn't let that go I know you feel uncomfortable that everybody knows I know I should've said something before it went to far I know you're trying to find yourself, but I know who you are I do
I thought you were a constant, you know everyone has doubts Aside from all my failures, I thought we'd work it out Does he know that you have got a speckle in your eye? Will he have a nook under his arm for you to cry? Does he make your body ache with passion? Well he must I know I wasn't adequate in with filling you with lust I was
