Lyrics
SECOND HAND AUTOMOBILE
Written by: Howard Delnick
Verse:
I THOUGHT GOOD TIMES WOULD BE
HAVIN' MANY WOMEN LOVIN' ME
BUT I FOUND OUT, THAT DREAMS NOT REAL
BEIN' JUST A ONE NIGHT STAND
AIN'T NO PROOF THAT YOUR A MAN
AND I'M TIRED OF FEELIN' LIKE A SECOND HAND AUTOMOBILE
Verse:
DRIFTIN' 'ROUND FROM TOWN TO TOWN
YOU MEET A LOT OF WOMEN FOOLIN' 'ROUND
AH, THEY PICK YOU UP, AND THEY MAKE YOU FEEL
LIKE YOUR THE ONLY MAN FOR THEM
NEXT MORNIN' THEY'RE GONE AGAIN
AND I'M TIRED OF FEELIN' LIKE A SECOND HAND AUTOMOBILE
Chorus:
I'M GONNA STOP THIS FOOLIN' AROUND
I'M GONNA CHANGE MY WAYS AND SETTLE DOWN
I'M GONNA GET AWAY SO FAR
I'M GONNA SHINE AND GLITTER LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR
I'M GONNA GIVE UP THIS DUMB DREAM
FORGET ALL THE WOMEN I'VE SEEN
AND FIND SOMEONE, WHO'LL MAKE ME FEEL
LIKE I'M HER SPECIAL MAN
NOT JUST ANOTHER ONE NIGHT STAND
AND NOT JUST SOME SECOND HAND AUTOMOBILE
