saving the good stuff for you
I've seen trouble from every direction My old head is peppered with grey I could never resist life's temptations They just seemed to fall in my way I've had wives and I treated them badly 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 Saving the good stuff for you There was some part of me who knew, darling To save the good stuff for you  And I even thought on occasion It was love that was making me blue Some kind of love, well, I called it love Maybe fatal attraction will do Well, I got it all out of my system My heart it is tested and true 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 Saving the good stuff for you There was some part of me who knew, darling To save the good stuff for you  I'm glad that you never did know me When I was out of control I was hollow right there in the middle Some people got sucked in the hole But I cut myself loose from the old ways 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  I was saving the good stuff for you, darling Saving the good stuff for you There was some part of me who knew, darling To save the good stuff for you Well I was saving the good stuff for you
