A little girl pulled me aside and said I wouldn't make it through the night
Well thank you darling, this I know
I threw a look over my shoulder towards the guys who look dissatisfied
I'm sorry, is this song too slow?
Well I can't sing it for you just the way you want me to
I might be tall but I'm not half the man you thought you knew
Who knew?
I'll hit the high notes, wink as you walk by
I'll sing a sad song, smile as you cry
Taking the high road, look me in the eye
Time waits for no man, old man, I'm saying goodbye
I feel it deep inside my chest that I just don't fulfill you're appetite
And that's the way that this will go
Another band will play and you'll still be the kind of guy I wanna fight
I shouldn't let my feelings show
Well I can't sing it for you just the way you want me to
I might be tall but I'm not half the man you thought you knew
And if I choke then you'll be gone to find somebody new
Who knew?
I'll hit the high notes, wink as you walk by
I'll sing a sad song, smile as you cry
Taking the high road, look me in the eye
Time waits for no man, old man, I'm saying goodbye
