Before I met you I used to get around
And I could have most any girl in any town
When I fell for you all my playboy days were through
You sure knew just how to tear my playhouse down

Just call me the late and great lover
Since I lost you I could never love another
I met my Waterloo when I fell in love with you
Just call me the late and great lover

That was a fateful day when I laid eyes on you
I didn't know that you were a great lover too
And then you said goodbye with a twinkle in your eye
Ya walked right out the front door with somebody new

Just call me the late and great lover
Since I lost you I could never love another
I met my Waterloo when I fell in love with you
Just call me the late and great lover
Just call me the late and great lover
