Why sing a lonely song
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why browse a heart that isn’t broken
It isn’t broken, it can be broken

Life’s just a show for free
Come along and watch with me
The only sins are words unspoken
Words unspoken, never spoken

Sweet things come and go
Give me shame I’ll give you ?woo?
To live for love isn’t so easy
It isn’t easy, it won’t be easy

How all good men try
Look around and wonder why
Can they ?shave/shape? this world to please me?
Can they please me, should they please me?

And follow and maybe you’ll correct me
I wish you never met me
For I am no gentleman
And follow and while you watch and wonder
I’ll pull the world a sunder
And show you who I am

Send me a gentle dream
of love so strange it’s never seemed
Prove how such a love can happen
It can happen, make it happen

Find things, don’t abound
Fade away without a sound
But hope must never end or slacker
Never slacker, never slacker

And follow and maybe you’ll correct me
I wish you never met me
For I am no gentleman
And follow and while you watch and wonder
I’ll pull the world a sunder
And show you who I am
