Lyrics

I don't see why they redesigned me
He likes the way he used to find me
He likes the girl I left behind me
I mean, he... I mean, me...
What did I have that I don't have?
What did he like that I lost track of?
What did I do that I don't do
The way I did before?
What isn't there that once was there?
What have I got a great big lack of?
Something in me then
He could see then
Beckons to him no more
I'm
Just a victim of time
Obsolete in my prime
Out of date and outclassed
By my past
What did he love that there's none of?
What did I lose the sweet warm knack of?
Wouldn't I be the late, great me
If I knew how?
Oh, what did I have I don't have now?
Where
Can I go to repair
All the wear and the tear
'Til I'm once again the
Previous me?
What did he like that I'm not like?
What was the charm that I've run dry of?
What would I give if my old know-how still knew how!
Oh, what did I have I don't have now?
