I'm Not That Guy

I’m Not That Guy

Somebody hurt you

It was not I

You left so quickly

I could just cry

Somebody hurt you

I’m not that guy

Let's talk a minute

Let me say goodbye

For forty six years we were husband and wife.

We loved and danced through a wonderful life.

But your memories grew fainter in these last years

And now I'm the object of your earliest fears.

*

I watched you return to a shy teenage flame.

I was sure you would call me by your first husband’s name.

It wasn’t his memory that took you away.

But some evil man who raped you that day.

*

I hadn’t yet met you when you were that young.

The pervert that hurt you should have been hung.

You’ve told me you hate me and will kill me someday.

You think I’m the one who hurt you that way.

Somebody hurt you

It was not I

You left so quickly

I could just cry

Somebody hurt you

I’m not that guy
Let's talk a minute

Let me say goodbye
