Old Boyfriends Lyrics - One From The Heart (soundtrack) - Tom Waits

Old boyfriends, 

Lost in the pocket of your overcoat, 

Like burned out lite bulbs on a ferris wheel. 

Old boy friends, 

You remember the kinds of cars they drove, 

Parking in an orange grove. 

He fell in love you see, 

With someone that I used to be.

Tho I very seldom think of him, 

Nevertheless sometimes a mannequin's 

Blue satin dress can make the window 

Like a dream 

Ah but now those dreams belong to someone else, 

Now they talk endlessly 

In a drawer where I keep 

All my 

Old boyfriends 

Remember when you were burning for them? 

Why do you keep turning them into 

Old boyfriends? 

They look you up when they're in town 

To see if they can still burn you down 

You fell in love you see 

With someone that I used to be 

Photos 

Old boyfriends 

Turn up every time it rains, 

Fall out of the pages in a magazine 

Old boyfriends. 

Girls fill up the bars every spring, 

Not places for remembering. 

Old boyfriends 

All my old boyfriends 

Old boyfriends
