Used to play the Casanova
Smoother than the bossa nova
Love to play the Romeo
But I never need a home to go to

I’m so greasy, I’m so slick
I leave no traces, I just get out quick
I use cheap champagne, brief affairs and
Backstage love

(But) (Yes) ('Cause) A love like this is much too good
To ever throw away

I’ve played the fool, I’ve played the clown
I’m an easy lover when I come to town
It’s a fashion, it’s a buyer's market
To bust it up before it’s really started

I’m incurably romantic
If you leave me I’ll go frantic
With cheap champagne, brief affairs and
Backstage love

If the glove still fits, don’t call it quits
Don’t throw your life away

One more (...)

Used to play the Casanova
Faster than a roller coaster
I gave you the best years of my life
Don’t you kick me in the gutter

Yeah there’s many a slip between a cup and lip
Don’t let it slide away

Come on, come on

Ah yes
Much too good, much too good
