Only Time Will Tell

Remember the morning I met you
You said you had something to say
Well, I've heard it before and I'll bet you
I'm used to it and it's okay
I know women and I know what they're after
So I try to keep a little around
This world has got so little laughter
That I've learned to live without the sound
I'd love to be the youth in your eyes
The truth in the lies that you tell
Oh, I'm not gonna mess with the lonely
Secret only time can tell
You know a player's got few things to count on
His fortune it comes and it goes
Well, here's a sensitive heart you can pound on
And a gallant way of taking the blows
Oh, I wrote you letters and I knew what to tell you
But they never got off the ground
You thought I had something to sell you
But it wasn't the best buy in town
I'd love to be the youth in your eyes
The truth in the lies that you tell
Oh, I'm not gonna mess with the lonely
Secret only time can tell
Only time can tell
Only time, only time can tell
Oh, only time, only time can tell
Only time, only time can tell
Only time
