From the recording Not One or the Other
Lyrics
Ms. Delores
Lyrics by Ted Horrell
How do I get somebody like you
To love me, Ms. Dolores?
Love me, Ms. Dolores?
Love me, Ms. Dolores?
I remember way back in high school
You had your man, and I had a woman too
But now they’re gone,
and time is winding down
We can carry on,
without carrying old loves around
How do I get somebody like you
To love me, Ms. Dolores?
Love me, Ms. Dolores?
Love me, Ms. Dolores?
It seems so obvious,
you’re right upstairs
And all I do most days
is sit around and stare
You’re past your prime
And my time is past
So let’s try to make
The short time we’ve got left last
How do I get somebody like you
To love me, Ms. Dolores?
Love me, Ms. Dolores?
Love me, Ms. Dolores?
We’re headed toward
three quarters round that track
So let’s look forward
I’m tired of looking back
Forget what our kids think
Our what the manager will say
We’ve got a few years left
And we can start today
How do I get somebody like you
To love me, Ms. Dolores?
Love me, Ms. Dolores?
Love me, Ms. Dolores?
