I could never resist life's temptations

And maybe a lover or two

All the time, I didn't know it

I was saving the good stuff for you

I was saving the good stuff for you, darling

It was love that was making me blue

Some kind of love, well, I called it love

Maybe fatal attraction will do
D G D
Well, I got it all out of my system
D G D
My heart it is tested and true

All the time, I didn't know it

I was saving the good stuff for you

'm glad that you never did know me
D G D
When I was out of control
D G D
I was hollow right there in the middle
Em A
Some people got sucked in the hole
D G D
But I cut myself loose from the old ways
D G D
And you're all that I'm clinging to

All the time, I didn't know it

I was saving the good stuff for you
