Lost in the pocket of your overcoat
Like burned out light bulbs on a Ferris Wheel
Old boyfriends
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
[Chorus:]
Though I very seldom think of him
Nevertheless sometimes a mannequin's
Blue summer dress can make the window like a dream
Ah, but now those dreams belong to someone else
Now they talk in their sleep
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
He fell in love, you see
With someone that I used to be
[Chorus]
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
Dark places for remembering
Old boyfriends
All my old boyfriends
Old boyfriends
Old boyfriends Lost in the pocket of your overcoat Like burned out light bulbs on a Ferris Wheel Old boyfriends 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 [Chorus:] Though I very seldom think of him Nevertheless sometimes a mannequin's Blue summer dress can make the window like a dream Ah, but now those dreams belong to someone else Now they talk in their sleep 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 He fell in love, you see With someone that I used to be [Chorus] 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 Dark places for remembering Old boyfriends All my old boyfriends Old boyfriends Explain Request ×
