When I was with you
I was a millionaire
The life of the party, handsome and debonair
When I would leave, without fail
Eyes of the women would cling to my coattails

When I was with you
I was a movie star
Cameras would flash when I sprang from my car
My accent was nearly authentic
Every gesture was tres photogenic

But the sun's up too long
And the bed is all wrong
There's sheet where your feet were
And space where your face was
I've forgotten what my place was
But I knew, I'm sure I knew

When I was with you
I was a confidante
The keeper of secrets for dandies and debutantes
They'd whisper to me their cherished infraction
End with a flourish and gauge my reaction

When I was with you
I was a clever thing
Words came together like pearls on a string
Everyone cheered in amazement
When they would catch what my turn of a phrase meant

But the sun's up too long
And the bed is all wrong
There's sheet where your feet were
And space where your face was
I've forgotten what my place was
But I knew, I'm sure I knew

When I was with you
