( Trade-in love song lyrics )
I'M TRADING YOU IN
( On a New Model )
Copyright © 2004 - mickterry.com

1: It's not that I am fickle.
Don't mean to be a cad.
You've pulled me through through thick & thin,
through good times & through bad.
But lately, you've been nickel
& dime-ing me to death
& I have noticed other ones
that take away my breath.

CHORUS:
I'm trading you in on a new model.
New lines, fresh paint, no mileage at all.
I'm trading you in on a new model.
No problems at all.

2: In your time you were royal,
a sleek and regal ride:
all polish, class & substance that
I would take out with pride.
Don't mean to be disloyal,
but you've been breaking down
& stranding me in not-so-nice
bad sections of this town.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
There are other guys with hobbies
of collecting all they can,
who keep their playthings stashed away,
to gaze on when they can.
But for me, I don't work that way.
It is not my speed or style.
I'd rather run with only one
who'll last me quite a while.

3: You've still got lots of beauty.
There's power 'neath your hood.
But you've become high maintenance
& that's not something good.
Don't want to do this crudely,
but I'm sure you will find
someone who'll give you all you need
when you're no longer mine.
CHORUS:

CODA:
Let's face it.
You don't cut the curves the way you used to.
Let's face it.
In the clutch you've let me down.

To other negative love song lyrics:   STORIES
ALL OVER YOU
DOWN ON THE SIDEWALK
DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE
I'M NOT THAT DESPERATE YET
SHE WILL NOT SAY SHE'S SORRY
SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO CRY
NO WAY (THAT I'M GOING BACK HOME YET)
To the TOP
