Píseň: Oh, Look At Me Now

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Encore
I never cared for simple things like love
 June and old place
 may face was terribly blank
 Two things concerning l'amour
 I'm really, really not for sure


 For I'm not the guy who kid about love
 For I'm not the guy who kid about fortunes and such
 Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
 I never knew the technique of kissing
 I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
 Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now


 I'm a new man, better than Cassanova at his best
 With a new heart a brand new start
 I'm so proud I'm busting my best
 So I'm a guy who turned out a lover
 So I'm guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
 One of those things
 Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now


 I'm a new man, better than Cassanova at his best
 With a new heart a brand new start
 I'm so proud I'm busting my best
 So I'm a guy who turned out a lover
 So I'm guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
 One of those things
 Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
