The Roches - Person with a Past Lyrics

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

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

Seems like only yesterday
You were just a child
Until up irreversibly
All of this sadness piled

Mistakes when you were fighting
Your way out of your bag
Has loneliness moonlighting
Made of you a hag

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

You say you want to see me
My number you desire
You make it sound so easy
(Make it sound so easy)
Like slumbering in fire

I'm offering a warning
(Offering a warning)
Where you can put your trust
And thank me in the morning
When ashes turn to dust

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)

With a past
With a past
With a past
...
