lyrics

I've been walkin' down this lonely road to you my dear
carryin' with me only hope that it would take me near
to the place where you live into the arms that could give
such solace to this hopeless loving man

I sent you flowers and did the song and dance for you
but all the red roses and violets of blue
couldn't put it in your head that the man you chose instead
ain't ever gonna love you like I do

and I'm never gonna be your man

'cause you're never gonna understand
that when I say these things to you
I am faithful I am true
but it just don't seem to fit your plan

I've been tryin' to get a message out to you sweet girl
cause even if I'm not in yours you're still my world
I can;t seem to sleep at night and when I do you're on my mind
as I dream of all the things I can't have
I feel empty when I feel anything at all
and even though you don't answer when I make a call
I'll still wait for a reply and I will until I die
because that's just the way I am

and I'm never gonna be your man

'cause you're never gonna understand
that i am faithful till the end
though not a lover just a friend
but still fool enough to be your biggest fan

I'm a good man good man
good man good man
someday you'll get it
someday you'll get it
but someday it'll be too late

and I'm never gonna be your man

'cause you're never gonna understand
that when I say these things to you
I am faithful I am true
but it just don't seem to fit your plan
