Saving The Good Stuff For You Lyrics - Electric - Richard Thompson

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
