"This Romance Will Be Different For Me" lyrics - JONATHAN RICHMAN

Well this romance will be different for me
Was different from the very start
This time I won't try and mend a lonely heart
A lonely heart, a lonely heart

Once I was ready to surrender my sword
And not hold so high my history
I could see it was my time to change
And this romance will be different for me

Once I was young and intense
And the tense can't listen patiently
But this romance will be different for me
Once I was young and nervous
And I thought it was the other person I was thinking of
But it was more me
(That's how it goes when you're nervous)

Once I was young and intense
And the tense can't listen patiently
This romance will be different for me

Somehow we knew we were to lead the other on
Lead each other to that scary scary home
That monastery home we remember distantly
And we knew this from the start
This romance will be different for me

And we knew this from the start
This romance will be different for me
For me [2x]
