Somebody 's Man I can't stand this place Got off the bus with a second-hand suitcase I had it made, now strangers just whisper and stare As your letter crumbles in my hand I wish I was somebody's man It's all a hoax You ran away when I needed you the most I blinked my eyes for a second, and let go of the plan But a second 's too long for you To believe I forgot I was somebody's man Things look ok from time to time Then walking in like it owns the place Comes despair, slapping home in the face If the sky would just shut off its lights I could sleep, I could sleep All day and night I can't stand this place Got off the bus with a second-hand suitcase I had it made, now strangers just whisper and stare As you wait for the narrow door with the damned For the chance to be somebody 's man
