Текст Richard Thompson – Hope You Like The New Me

I stole your style
Hope you don’t mind
I must try to be all I can be
It suits me more

I stole your laugh
So bright and breezy
It stops parties in mid-air
It makes me feel more devil-may-care
Hope you like the new me
Hope you like the new me

We all need friends to lean on
Any time, any place, anywhere
Feel free to lean on me
But please don’t do it right now
Yes I’m much too busy right now

I stole your walk
The one with purpose
That says there is no mountain I can’t climb
It fools people all of the time
Hope you like the new me

I stole your jokes
Just the good ones
How the gang all laughed with glee
I also stole
The way that you tell them
Hope you like the new me
Hope you like the new me

To steal is to flatter

I stole your wife
Hope you don’t mind
She was looking bored don’t you think
I’ll soon have her back in the pink
Stop by and see us for tea

I stole your soul
When you weren’t looking
I reached inside and cut it free
It suits me more
Than it ever suited you
Hope you like the new me
Hope you like the new me
