We used to go out dancing and go to the bar
I dreamed I made love to you in the back of your car
Love can burn out faster than a summertime evening
Passed you walking on 8th avenue
You had heavy pockets and brand new shoes
Walking like a stranger who's never had the blues
Well have you?

I'm making mistakes, talking all about me
What about the new you?
What about the new you?
I'm making mistakes, getting lost in a daydream
Well this is the new you and the old me

I pretended that I was your king
Less of a fool with a pipeline dream
Naive to think that I could ever make you my queen
Sat and watched while you slipped away
You found some fortune to take my place
Forever known as the one that went astray
Well have you?

I'm making mistakes, talking all about me
What about the new you?
What about the new you?
I'm making mistakes, tattooed in memories
Well this is the new you and the old me
