Since youve been gone, Ive cried a river for you But Im just wastin time, and wastin water, too Im hanging out these nights, in these twilight worlds With all the late-night news, and the weather-girls No-one here but me, so I sit and cheer, Watchin sports t.v., sipping luke-warm beer I can take the pain, I can stand the rain But what I cannot bear, is that bum givin you his name
Id like to tell all the whole wide world, What a cryin shame this is But I get tongue-tied up, Just tryin to say my name without sayin his
What kind of a man am i? givin up on love without a try Thought what we had was, like, a special thing, Now I find your wearin that bums ring! And what kind of a girl are you, Tell me you love me then you tell him, too Guess Ill be wonderin til the day I die, What kind of man am i?
Its a cryin shame, whats become of me Im not half the man, that I used to be And its yous to blame, with your dirty tricks Give a dog a name, youd best beleave it sticks
I cant compete with the fancy cars And the limousines he owns But theres a heart beatin ten feet tall Inside of all of this skin an bones
What kind of a man am i? I read the papers, Let the world go by I let him walk you right through the door, When I shoulda punched him on the jaw And what kind of a girl are you, Tell me you love me then you tell him, too Too dumb to laugh and too proud to cry, What kind of man am i?
Instrumental solo
Its bad enough tryin to hold my head up On the streets of our tiny town If thers a God up in heaven, I wonder if hed send a bolt of lightnin down?
What kind of a man am i? Id love to tell you but Im too damn shy I stood an let him give me all that grief, When I shoulda kicked him in the teeth! And what kind of a girl are you, Tell me you love me then you tell him too Guess Ill be wonderin til the day I die, What kind of man am i?
