Have you ever had a fancy lover?
Gone crazy trying to keep up with her
Its like youre standing in the darkness
In the theatre up the back
Joining her ovation
When you wish you could distract her take her home
You had to try
Dont some great loves start with someone aiming so high?
Have you ever had a fancy lover?
Thrown everything that youve got at her
Shes the winter thats so bitter youll cut wood all summer long
Shes two long years of thinking going into one old song and that aint good
You were doing fine
You knew your chances and your place in the line
Fancy lovers they need fancy lovers of their own
Youll camouflage your soul for them
Where do they get to meet their own kind of people?
Is there a light on the steeple that only fancy people see?
When you try and keep a fancy lover
You force her hand and then discover
She wouldnt look so perfect if it was just for you
Is there a guy over your shoulder that she may have noticed too?
Youll never know
You had to be in
You bet on hearts boy even when you wont win
And then shell take the field against you
Fighting above your weight and your height
One hundred ways to hit the canvas
A thousand days to beat the count
