Hapless Suitor
|
|
|
|
a man is only as old as the worry he feels
and he knows it's not only just her heart he steals
he can't wait to come forward with his crooked deals
the louder he talks if someone is listening the better he feels
my lifelong hapless suitor i hate to see you sad
but he lives just to turn your world upside down
he's hit you with the back door and treated you so bad
and he lives just to turn your world upside down
so he hustles through life and at the end of it all
he thinks that he'll be forgiven
but it's far too easy to forgive the man after you've gotten even
so selfish and mean with a passion for greed he eats the fruit that he peels
then he'll throw out the rest and he'll make you fall by the foot of your heels
my lifelong hapless suitor i hate to see you sad
but he lives just to turn your world upside down
he's hit you with the back door and treated you so bad
and he lives just to turn your world upside down
if the measure of a man is what he does with his power
not all the lives and dreams and fantasies he ruins by the hour
is there a difference between what a man believes and what he does has a reason?
the power is yours want an early spring? you can change the season
yes the power is yours want an early spring? you can change the season
my lifelong hapless suitor i hate to see you sad
but he lives just to turn your world upside down
he's hit you with the back door and treated you so bad
and he lives just to turn your world upside down
yes he lives just to turn your world upside down
