Hope You Like The New Me

Hope You Like The New Me - Richard Thompson

I stole your style

Hope you don't mind

I must try to be all I can be

It suits me more

Than it ever suited you

Hope you like the new me

I stole your laugh

So bright and breezy

It stops parties in mid-air

It makes me feel more devil-may-care

Hope you like the new me

Hope you like the new me

We all need friends to lean on

Any time any place anywhere

Feel free to lean on me

But please don't do it right now

Yes I'm much too busy right now

I stole your walk

The one with purpoise

That says there is no mountain I can't climb

It fools people all of the time

Hope you like the new me

I stole your jokes

Just the good ones

How the gang all laughed with glee

I also stole

The way that you tell them

Hope you like the new me

Hope you like the new me

To steal is to flatter

What a compliment to pay

All those things that I stole from you

Well I might give them back someday

Yes I really might someday

I stole your wife

Hope you don't mind

She was looking bored don't you think

I'll soon have her back in the pink

Stop by and see us for tea

I stole your soul

When you weren't looking

I reached inside and cut it free

It suits me more

Than it ever suited you

Hope you like the new me

Hope you like the new me
