Lovers Lyrics - Olivia Newton-john

(Mickey Newbury) 

Once they were lovers but now they're not friends 

She's found another--he says it's the end 

To think they once tore down the wall for a door 

But now they don't speak anymore 

So he walks the streets--the few nights he can stand 

Drinking her memory away when he can 

Friends once would reach out to them from the shore 

But now they don't cry anymore 

How does it all come to happen 

That's not what loving is for 

And if I thought it was, I'd leave here in the morning 

I'd sooner sleep on the floor

Oh when will we learn really what loving is 

It's not what you get in return but what you give 

To think they once tore down the wall for a door 

But now they don't speak anymore
