[Verse 1]
Looking in the mirror
What do you see?
From another era
A face baby
A waste maybe
Of a chance never had
A history
Of romance gone bad

[Chorus]
Who can be a lover?
How long can it last?
Anything but hover
Seems like moving too fast
Going undercover
With a person with a past
(With a person with a past)

[Verse 2]
Seems like only yesterday
You were just a child
Until up irreversibly
All o' this sadness piled
Mistakes when you were fighting
Your way out of your bag
Has loneliness moonlighting
Made of you a hag?
[Chorus]
Who can be a lover?
How long can it last?
Anything but hover
Seems like moving too fast
Going undercover
With a person with a past
(With a person with a past)

[Verse 3]
You say you want to see me
My number you desire
You make it sound so easy
Like slumbering in fire
I'm offering a warning
Where you can put your trust
And thank me in the morning
When ashes turn to dust

[Chorus]
Who can be a lover?
How long can it last?
Anything but hover
Seems like moving too fast
Going undercover
With a person with a past
(With a person with a past)
[Outro]
With a past, with a past, with a past
With a past, with a past, with a past
