Lyrics
The Comeback Kid
Afternoon
Miss Lucy
you look
beautiful in black
I heard your
boyfriend left you
and is never coming back
Pity that poor fool
will never see the things I see
you could do much worse now
than to
give your love to me
darling can?t you see?
My heart has ached for too long
I?ve wasted too much time
Staring out my window and
Dreaming you were mine
Feeling like the comeback kid
and I know that I can make you
forget the things he did
If you let me I will take you
many miles away from here
now my head is finally clear
Afternoon
Miss Lucy
oh she?d never go for that
it?s easy talking to you
when it?s my face staring back
What could I have been thinking
That a girl like you would see
the kind of man she dreams of
in a
comeback kid like me
darling can?t you see?
