What Kind of a Man Am I?

Since you've been gone  I've cried a river for you
But I'm just wastin' time  and wastin' water  too
I'm 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
I'd 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 see your wearin' that bum's ring
And what kind of a girl are you
Tell me you love me then you tell him  too
Guess I'll be wonderin' 'til the day I die
What kind of man am I
It's a cryin' shame  what's become of me
I'm not half the man  that I used to be
And it's you's to blame  with your dirty tricks
Give a dog a name  you'd best beleave it sticks
I can't compete with the fancy cars
And the limousines he owns
But there's 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 should'a 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
It's bad enough tryin' to hold my head up
On the streets of our tiny town
If ther's a God up in heaven
I wonder if he'd send a bolt of lighting down
What kind of a man am I
I'd love to tell you but I'm too damn shy
I stood an' let him give me all that grief
When I should'a 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 wonderin' 'til the day I die
What kind of man am I
Guess I'll be wonderin' 'til the day I die
What kind of man am I
