I close my eyes and try to sleep I count the tears I cry instead of counting sheep The sun has gone and left the rain with me And if this is love it's not all it's cracked up to be I'm telling you this much for free Things ain't what they used to be With my man and me I walk alone through stormy nights Longing for company It don't seem right somehow To love so much and hurt so desperately Maybe I should leave But it seems like we're caught between The devil and the deep blue sea Things ain't what they used to be With my man and me Hold on! How long can I wait for these feelings to go away? Where is he now? Where did he go? Does he really love me? I'll never know Those words of love come tumbling down Just like the winter snow Since he's not around I'll light a fire to warm my lonely heart Living in the past I've tried but honestly I just can't shake the memory Thinking how it used to be With my man and me I've tried but honestly I just can't shake the memory Thinking how it used to be My man and me.
