(Rod Stewart, Jim Cregan, Bernie Taupin & Kevin Savigar)
Sonny, I`ve been missing you tonight,
Sonny, something deep inside me has died.
I gave up the purest love
a woman could give to a man.
Ev`rything I ever had
has slipped right through my hands
`cause she walks like you,
she talks like you,
she feels like you,
but she ain`t you,
she smiles like you,
cries like you,
denies like you,
but she`ll never be you.
Sonny, she don`t move me anymore,
Sonny, I`ve never hurt this way before.
She`s trying hard to replace you
but there`s something she`ll never know.
She can borrow all your style
but she`ll never possess your soul
`cause she acts like you,
attacks like you,
she cracks like you,
but she ain`t you,
she needs like you,
pleads like you,
feels like you,
but she`ll never be you.
Sonny
Sonny
I`m down on my knees
Sonny won`t you come back, come back,
come back to me please.
Someday, we`ll hide the pain away, and
Sonny, I know that ... that we can laugh again.
I should have known and had more sense
sinking to a childish pride.
All I got was your looking glass
without your heart in side
`cause she craves like you,
behaves like you,
and lays like you,
but she ain`t you,
she plays like you,
prays like you,
does ev`rything like you,
but she ain`t you.
She hides like you,
denies like you,
sighs like you,
but she ain`t you.
Sonny,
Sonny,
Sonny won`t you come back,
come back to me.
Sonny,
Sonny,
Sonny, oh
Oh
