Chris Hillman  Fallen Favorite by Peter Knobler and Chris Hillman

                        

                
Green velvet and valley shoes
                                
Your sharpshooter eyes have gone aimless

You want me when you danced my way
    
And now you choose to lose
                         
Don't look at me 'cause I'm blameless
                   
White dresses and a message from home
               
Crazy smile has unraveled

You love to dance the night away
    
And I'd be home alone
                             
Don't worry 'bout that I'm well-traveled
                       
You thought I taught you all I know
               
I told you about givin'
                  
They say that people live and learn
                                    
But baby you're just livin'

        

               
Faded denim and broken dreams
                            
The stage door hands are now empty
  
I helped you step out
     
When friends were far-between
                         
I wouldn't come back if you let me
                   
Buried feelings and borrowed times
                           
Your big city plans are all shattered
     
When music ends, the dancing's done

Were you ever mine?
                          
What makes you think that it mattered?
                       
You thought I taught you all I know
                
I told you about givin'
                  
They say that people live and learn
    
But baby you're just ..

                  

                  
They say that people live and learn
                           
But baby you're just livin'
                 
Just livin'
                  
Just livin
