I Can't Be New

Coffee, ham and eggs
I can be your diner
Tired aching legs
I'll be your recliner
And when you need a breath of air
I'll be your balcony

When you need a laugh
I can be your joker
Cut a loss in half
I can be your broker
'Cos all of that and more
You have been for me

And I'll be the release
When the pressure's heightening
I can be the grease
When your wheels are tightening
And when you need a dance
I can be that old soft-shoe

I can be your girl
Through the best and worst time
But I can't be the girl you notice
For the first time
There's so much I can do
But I can't be new

And when they're buying you steak baby
I can be the gravy
When they throw you in the lake
I can be the navy
Be that three-day leave
I can be that bad tattoo

I can be the sky
The very wild blue yonder
Still I can't catch your eye
When it starts to wander
As I've seen it do
Oh at least a time or two

I'll be anything for you baby
But I can't be new...
