Sweet Old Fashioned Man Songtext
von Little River Band

Lately, I′ve been thinkin' ′bout settlin' down
To find me a life of my own
Too much drinkin' and sleepin′ around
Was bound to weary your soul
So darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine

You made me feel like your friend
Darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine
Come love, your sweet old-fashioned man
Come love, your sweet old-fashioned man

I′ve been out on the road with a rock 'n′ roll band
Terry Britten, Old Stockley, now Beeb
And I like what I got now and what I once had
Sweet lady, you're more than I need
Yes I said, darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine


Make me feel like your friend
Darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine
Come love, your sweet old-fashioned man
Come love, your sweet old-fashioned man
Come on honey

Lately, I′ve been thinkin' ′bout settlin' down
To find me a life of my own
Too much drinkin' and sleepin′ around
Lord, is bound to weary your soul
Darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine

Make me feel like your friend
Darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine
Come love, your sweet old-fashioned man
Come love, your sweet old-fashioned man, man
Come love, your sweet old-fashioned man
Come love, your sweet old-fashioned man
