Lyrics

“NOT THE MAN IN ME”

THE LIGHTS GO DOWN AND THE MUSIC BEGINS
PLAYIN FOR PENNIES AND JUST A FEW FRIENDS
ANOTHER CIGARETTE AND ANOTHER PINT
ANOTHER WISH ON A STAR TONIGHT
I STUMBLE IN AROUND FIVE A.M.
SOME COLD PIZZA AND A GLASS OF GIN
I WATCH THE SUNRISE THROUGH A BROKEN PANE OF GLASS
AND CATCH MY REFLECTION IN THE MIIRROR AT LAST

CAUSE THE MAN THAT’S LOOKIN’ BACK AT ME
IS NOT THE MAN THAT I USED TO BE
CAUSE THE MAN THAT’S LOOKIN’ BACK AT ME
IS NOT THE MAN THAT I WANT TO BE
NO, IT’S NOT THE MAN IN ME

I DRAG OUTTA BED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON
THE MIDDLE OF A HANGOVER THAT WON’T END TOO SOON
I BRUSH MY TEETH LOOKIN’ OVER YESTERDAY’S NEWS
JUST TRYIN’ TO FIND THE ANSWERS IN ALL THE CLUES
I THINK OF ALL THE TIME SINCE YOU’VE LEFT ME HAS PASSED
AND I CATCH MY REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR AT LAST

CAUSE THE MAN THAT’S LOOKIN’ BACK AT ME
IS NOT THE MAN THAT I USED TO BE
CAUSE THE MAN THAT’S LOOKIN’ BACK AT ME
IS NOT THE MAN THAT I WANT TO BE
NO, IT’S NOT THE MAN IN ME
(repeat)
