I'm a Stumbledown Romancer, I never made the grade Never on the dance floor, when the music played Always moving on, when I should have stayed And I never had a love of my own Stumbledown Romancer, I dearly loved the stage I saw my name once, on the printed page And somebody called me, a Rock & Roll sage But I never had a love of my own And it's hard to be free, with a late affair Puts the Moon in her eyes, the stars in the air But I'll never be happy, with a fire side chair That's a hard price to pay, it can hold me that way Nothing I can do about it, there's nothing I can change Guess there's nothing new about it, always been the same The tears come and they go, but the blues still remain That's a hard price to pay, it's a hard price to pay Stumbledown Romancer, I never made the grade Never on the dance floor, when the music played Always moving on, and I should have stayed But I never had a love of my own And I never had a love of my own I never had a love of my own
