About "Old Fashioned Guy"

This song began several years ago as the creative brainchild of my brother Geordie, who wrote the first verse, the chorus and the chord progression. He and I refined it further over time, adding a bass line, and a lead lick,  but we never added any new verses.  Then a  couple years ago I set aside yet another project I was working on and started in on this again. Penned two more verses, and arbitraily set the structure of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-verse-chorus. I couldn't remember how the lead guitar parts used to go, so I made 'em up from scratch again.  Turns out the structure (and the too-slow tempo), made the whole thing overly long, coming in at a ponderous five minates 20 seconds. Sigh...

Anyway, credit for what's good about this goes to Geordie, and you can blame me for any lyrical lame-ness, structural flaws or performance shortcomings.

Thanks for listening; here's the legal crap and the lyrics flyer:

Old Fashioned Guy
© 2007 Geordie Smith / Robert Smith

When I first looked at you
I knew that something was taking place
And when you came into view
I felt a love that time couldn’t erase
But time can teach you well
Heaven can change into hell
And I guess it’s nothing new
but darling, all I wanted to do
(it’s all I wanted to do)
Was just to be there, baby with you
(it’s all I wanted to do)
Just to be there, baby with you
I thought you wanted it too
But I was wrong, because

(Chorus):

The only kind of love to you is just passion
I guess I’m just an old-fashioned guy
And any kind of love to you is old-fashioned
I guess I’m just an old-fashioned guy

The things you began to do
kind of left me out in the cold
And when he came up to you
The one person that I wanted to hold
And you turned away from me
That’s when I knew how it was going to be
And I guess it’s nothing new
but darling, all I wanted to do
(it’s all I wanted to do)
Was just to be there, baby with you
(it’s all I wanted to do)
Just to be there, baby with you
I thought you wanted it too
But I was wrong

(Chorus, bridge, chorus)

Now there’s nothing left to do
nothing left to say
I can’t change your point of view
I wouldn’t want to anyway
But I wanted you to know
No matter how your feelings flow
That it’s really nothing new
but darling, all I wanted to do
(it’s all I wanted to do)
Was just to be there, baby with you
(it’s all I wanted to do)
Just to be there, baby with you
I thought you wanted it too
But I was wrong

(Chorus)

I feel so cold
and so alone...
