I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight 
Whose head rests upon the bed 
Could it be a close friend I knew so well 
Who seems to be so close to you instead 
Close to you instead 
 
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad 
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad 
I guess I cannot have everything 
So much has flown between the years 
When I was twenty and you were seventeen 
 
So out of choice I chose rock and roll 
But it pushed me to the limit everyday 
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home 
From there on, there seemed no use for you 
For you to stay 
 
And if I shower around 3 a.m. 
It's just to wash away 
The trace of a love unwanted 
Oh in the times I went astray 
The times I went astray 
 
So much has flown between the years 
When I was twenty and you were seventeen
