Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry for Loverboy) Lyrics

I had a dream of us together
In a world where we knew what was true
Oh Patti don't lead the life that I left you with
It's been such a long time and I know

We tried together to discover
Why we failed the test of our time
Oh Patti don't lead the life that they made for you
I'll be gone a long while and you'll know

And don't feel sorry for loverboy
You know he wants the world to love him, then he goes and spoils it all
Don't feel sorry for loverboy
He wants the world to love him, then he goes and spoils it all for love

There's no one out here you can listen to
And certainly never yourself (ooh)
Oh Patti don't lead the life that I left you with
Listen to the cars call in the rain

I got so tired of concluding
That there's nothing for us to conclude (ooh)
Oh Patti don't look for certainty in your life
I've gone where a lost cause can be found

And don't feel sorry for loverboy
You know he wants the world to love him, then he goes and spoils it all
Don't feel sorry for loverboy
He wants the world to love him, then he goes and spoils it all for love

Oh for love, little girl
Oh for love, little girl
(For love)

Don't feel sorry for loverboy
You know he wants the world to love him, then he goes and spoils it all
Don't feel sorry for loverboy
He wants the world to love him

(For love)
Don't feel sorry for loverboy
He wants the world to love him

Oh and don't feel sorry for loverboy
He wants the world to love him, then he goes and spoils it all
Don't feel sorry for loverboy
He wants the world to love him, then he goes and spoils it all for love

Seems like someone is in competing for a girl with another guy. He wants to make the girl choose him

Not quite sure what this song is about. Never heard a decent live version of it. Green seems to be able to sing most of his other hit records quite well live, but not this one.
