Since you've been gone,
I've cried a river for you
But that's a waste of time,
and a waste of water too
I'm hanging out these nights,
in all these twilight worlds
With the late night news,
and the leather girls
No one here but me,
so I sit and cheer I'm watching sports
TV, I'm drinking liquor and
beer I can take the pain, I can stand the rain
But what I cannot bear is
that bum giving you his name
I wanna tell all the whole wide world
what a cryin' shame it all is
But I get tongue -tied up just tryin' to
say my name without sayin' his
What kind of a man am
I?
Giving up on love without a try
I thought what we had was
like a special thing
But now I see you wearing
that bug's ring
And what kind of a girl are you?
Tell me you love me,
then you tell him too
Guess I've been wondering
to the day I die
What kind of man am
I?
It's a crying shame
What's becoming of me?
Hey, I'm not half the man
That I used to be
And it's you to blame
With your dirty tricks
You give a dog a name,
you best believe it sticks
Hey, wait a minute
I can't compete with the fancy cars
and the limousines he owns
But there's a heart beating ten feet tall
inside of all of his skin and bones
What kind of a man am
I?
I read the papers, let the world go by
I let him walk it right through the door
When I should have punched
him on the jaw
And what kind of a girl are you?
Tell me you love me then you tell him to
Too dumb to laugh and too proud to cry
What kind of man am
I?
It's hard enough tryin'
to hold my head up
On the streets of our tiny town
He said, look, if there's a
God up in heaven,
I wonder if he'd send a bolt
of lightning down.
What kind of a man am
I?
I want to tell you, but I'm too damn shy.
I stood and laid and gave
me all that grief
when I should have kicked
him in the teeth.
And what kind of a girl are you?
Tell me you love me,
then you tell him too
Guess I'll be wondering till the day I die
What kind of man am
I?
Guess I'll be wondering till the day I die
What kind of man am
I?
What kind of man am
I?
