What Did I Have That I Don’t Have

I don't know why they redesign me
He likes the way he used to find me
He likes the girl I left behind me
I mean he, I mean me

What did I have that I don't have?
What did he like that I lost track of?
What did I do that I don't do the way I did before?

What isn't there that once was there?
What have I got a great big lack of?
Something in me that he could see then
Beckons to him no more

I'm just a victim of time
Obsolete in my prime
Out of date and outclassed by my past

What did he love that there's none of?
What did I lose the sweet warm knack of?
Wouldn't I be the late, great, me if I knew how?
Oh, what did I have I don't have now?

[spoken]
Oh, I thought he kinda liked me
When all the time he was thinking of someone else - me!
Oh, those questions!
He wasn't interested in me, he was interested in me
Oh, God! Why did I have to come along?
I mean, what is so special about an English accent?
Cheerio! Oh, tallyho Doctor!
Yes, she gave me the jolly message!
Oh, noth-nothing is wrong! After all, what is time?
If you miss me in this life you can catch me in the next!
Caught one? Ay what? Well, Kippered Herring!

[sung]
What did I have that I don't have?
What do I need a big supply of?
What was the trick I did particularly well before?

What did he see that's gone in me?
What did I use that now I'm shy of?
Why is the sequel never the equal?
Why is there no encore?

Where can I go to repair all the wear and the tear
'Til I'm once again the previous me?

What did he like that I am not like?
What was the charm that I've run dry of?
What would I give if my old know-how still knew how?

Oh what did I know?
Tell me where did it go!
What, oh, what did I have I don't have now?
