Second-hand Love

Second-hand Love

He has a special way of talking
Could charm the birds down from the trees
And though he knows you know
Exactly what he's feeding you
He's so damn easy to believe

He doesn't mean what he's saying
But he would never be unkind
He left his heart in the past and
Hopes that you won't mind

Chorus:
Don't want a second-hand love
Don't need a hand-me-down heart
Take what you need
Let the rest fall apart
Don't want to hear borrowed words
Dragging out yesterday's news
You will or you won't
Either way you lose

He works hard for his money
Convinced himself he's a success
As he gets down on one knee
He's certain you'll say yes

He's not prepared for the moment
It wasn't written in his plan
There's nothing you can say
To make him understand

(chorus)

Bridge:
Looks at you, thinks of her
And all he's left behind
It's not enough to call his bluff
You've gotta get out while there's time

(chorus)

Thanks so much Jeff!!! I've got a few more new ones now, just trying to find the time to record them.....

It reminds me of a man I know, until you get to the part where he thinks he's a success that is.....a great great song.
