Lyrics

[00:08.02] By the look in your eye
[00:09.71] I can tell you're gonna cry.
[00:12.14] Is it over me?
[00:15.89] If it is, save your tears
[00:17.69] for I'm not worth it, you see.
[00:23.37] For I'm the type of boy
[00:25.99] who is always on the roam,
[00:31.73] wherever I lay my hat
[00:34.48] that's my home,
[00:43.61] You had romance,
[00:44.61] did you break it by chance
[00:47.04] over me?
[00:51.29] If it's so I'd like for you to know
[00:53.47] that I'm not worth it, you see.
[00:59.09] For I'm the type of boy
[01:01.08] who is always on the roam, mm,
[01:06.95] wherever I lay my hat
[01:09.32] that's my home,
[01:15.35] Oh, you keep telling me,
[01:17.04] you keep telling me
[01:19.10] I'm your man.
[01:23.15] What do I have to do
[01:25.09] to make you understand?
[01:30.89] For I'm the type of guy
[01:32.33] who gives girl the eye,
[01:34.07] everybody knows.
[01:37.94] But I love them
[01:39.19] and I leave them,
[01:40.13] break their hearts
[01:41.06] and deceive them
[01:42.25] everywhere I go.
[01:45.74] Don't you know
[01:46.93] that I'm the type of man
[01:48.24] who is always on the roam,
[01:54.26] wherever I lay my hat,
[01:57.44] oh oh, that's my home,
[01:59.25] mm yeh,
[02:00.69] that's my home
[02:01.38] and I like it that way.
