Person With A Past Lyrics - The Roches

Looking in the mirror 

What do you see 

From another era 

A face, baby 

A waste maybe 

Of a chance never had 

A history of 

Romance gone bad 

Who can be a lover? 

How long can it last? 

Anything but hover 

Seems like moving too fast 

Going undercover 

With a person with a past 

Seems like only yesterday 

You were just a child 

Until up irreversibly 

All of this sadness piled 

Mistakes when you were fighting 

Your way out of your bag 

Has loneliness moonlighting 

Made of you a hag 

Who can be a lover? 

How long can it last? 

Anything but hover 

Seems like moving too fast 

Going undercover 

With a person with a past 

You say you want to see me 

My number you desire 

You make it sound so easy 

(Make it sound so easy) 

Like slumbering in fire 

I'm offering a warning 

(Offering a warning) 

Where you can put your trust 

And thank me in the morning 

When ashes turn to dust 

Who can be a lover? 

How long can it last? 

Anything but hover 

Seems like moving too fast 

Going undercover 

With a person with a past 

(With a person with a past) 

With a past 

With a past 

With a past 

...
