Lyrics Don't Look Back (original mix) - Lloyd Cole

When you're nothing to no one
And you're less than you can
And you're looking for someone
Who won't cling to anything

So you're stuck in some motel
With the sound of her sleeping
Don't you feel kinda old now
Well ain't that a funny thing

I used to wake up early, I used to try to believe
But life seems never ending when you're young

So you're back on the highway
And there's wind in her hair
And you know that it's no time for thinking
About somebody up there

'Cause you'll turn her to drinking
And you'll lead her to hell
With her Bible beside her
She surely looks like an angel

I used to wake up early, I used to try to believe
But faith is never easy when you're young, no no no

I used to wake up early, now it's hard, hard enough to sleep
But life seems never ending when you're young, oh no no no no no
