( Trade-in love song lyrics )
I'M TRADING YOU IN
( ON A NEW MODEL )
Copyright © 2004 - MickTerry.com
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.

STORIES
ALL OVER YOU
BEAUTY OF THE SCARS
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
MASSACRE ON VALENTINE'S NIGHT
NO WAY (THAT I'M GOING BACK HOME YET)
To the TOP
