Old Version of You
(by Michael Clem)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the old version of you
I used to sit at the same dinner table
Miserable just like you
I hope you checked your pride
and your soul at the door
’cause your happy days are through
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the old version of you

So you think you got it made
‘Cause you’re married to my ex
You’re gonna have no fun
You’re gonna have no sex
Now you’re just thinking to yourself
She tells you she adores you
So much more than Mike
Wait ’til Bridezilla rips off her veil
Looks at you and yells out “Psyche!”

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the old version of you
I used to sit on the same damn sofa
Sittin where you now do
I hope you checked your pride
and your soul at the door
’cause your happy days are through
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the old version of you

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the old version of you
I used to lay there on the same queen bed
Frustrated just like you
I hope you checked your pride
and libido at the door
’cause your love life sure is through
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the old version of you

So you think that this is Hell
It’s only gonna get worse
You’ll never get to second base
Just forget about first
Now you’re just thinking to yourself
She tells you that she love you
You’re just out of luck
I hope you don’t like going out with the fellas
and I hope you don’t like to laugh

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the old version of you
I used to sit at the same dinner table
Miserable just like you
I hope you checked your pride
and your life at the door
’cause your happy days are through
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the old version of you
