This Romance Will Be Different For Me - Jonathan Richman

Well this romance will be different for me

Was different from the very start

This time I won’t try and mend a lonely heart

A lonely heart, a lonely heart

Once I was ready to surrender my sword

And not hold so high my history

I could see it was my time to change

And this romance will be different for me

Once I was young and intense

And the tense can’t listen patiently

But this romance will be different for me

Once I was young and nervous

And I thought it was the other person I was thinking of

But it was more me

(That's how it goes when you’re nervous)

Once I was young and intense

And the tense can’t listen patiently

This romance will be different for me

Somehow we knew we were to lead the other on

Lead each other to that scary scary home

That monastery home we remember distantly

And we knew this from the start

This romance will be different for me

And we knew this from the start

This romance will be different for me

For me
