Well I was born in a concrete town
Where the river drags London to the sea
But some years later and I've nothing much to show
You are the love of my sorry little life
Now I'm no genius and I'm no fool
I'm really nothing but an ordinary boy
But I didn't know anything before I knew you
You are the love of my sorry little life
Tears down,
They all work out... in the end
So tonight I'll sing my same old songs
And if I'm lucky, maybe think myself to sleep
My bones are somewhere in Illinois
My heart it bends for home
But you are the love of my sorry little life
Yeah, you are the love of my sorry little life
