So now I am older
Than my mother and father
When they had their daughter
Now what does that say about me
Oh, how could I dream of
Such a selfless and true love?
Could I wash my hands off?
Just lookin' out for me
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man oh my oh me
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man oh my oh me
In dearth or in excess
Both the slave and the empress
Will return to the dirt I guess
Naked as when they came
I wonder if I'll see
Any faces above me
Or just cracks in the ceiling
Nobody else to blame
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man, oh my, oh me
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man, oh my, oh me
♪
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
Every piece of your dowry
Throw them into the tomb with me
Bury them with my name
♪
Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering
In my underway
♪
Oh, man what I used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh, man oh my oh me
Than my mother and father
When they had their daughter
Now what does that say about me
Oh, how could I dream of
Such a selfless and true love?
Could I wash my hands off?
Just lookin' out for me
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man oh my oh me
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man oh my oh me
