 1st verse

 I used to be
 Into cheatin'
 Used to do the run-around.
 I used to be
 Like a tumble weed
 Rollin' from town to town.
 I used to be
 Such a wheeler-dealer
 Fancy car and a lotta dough.
 Ah, but that was yesterday
 And oh so long ago.
 
 2nd verse

 I used to be
 An alley cat
 And stray out late each night.
 I used to be
 An ol' bulldog,
 Always fixin' for a fight.
 I used to be
 Such a know-it-all
 But I was the last to know.
 Ah but that was yesterday
 And oh so long ago.

3rd verse

 I used to be
 A Storyteller
 Spin the finest yarns.
 I used to be
 A true heartbreaker...
 Never saw the harm.
 I used to be
 Into shiney things
 Like an old black crow.
 Ah but that was yesterday
 And oh so long ago.




Chorus

 All of my "used to be" bad habits
 I have given up.
 Ever since I met you baby,
 What used to be
 Just doesn't thrill me
 Quite as much.....
 As much as your sweet love.


 Notes

   Even a bad cat can staighten up,
   especially after nine lives.
