[Verse 1]
What did I have that I don't have?
What did she like that I lost track of?
What did I do that I don't do
The way I did before?

[Verse 2]
What isn't there that once was there?
What have I got a great big lack of?
Something in me then she could see then
Beckons to her no more

[Bridge]
I'm just a victim of time
Obsolete in my prime
Out of date and outclassed
By my past

[Verse 3]
What did she love that there's none of?
What did I lose the sweet warm knack of?
Couldn't I be the late, great me if I knew how?
Oh, what did I have I don't have?
What did I have I don't have?
What did I have I don't have now?
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Lord, what did she see that's gone in me?
What did I use that now I'm shy of?
Why is the sequel never equal?
Why is there no encore?

[Bridge]
Where can I go to repair
All the wear and the tear
'Til I'm once again the
Previous me?

[Verse 5]
What did she like that I'm not like?
What was that charm that I've run dry of?
What would I give if my old know-how still knew how!
What did I have I don't have?
What did I have that I don't have?
What did I have that I don't have now?
What did I have that I've lost?
