Well, you heard about the time |
|
I climbed the Empire State Building |
|
And you heard about the time |
|
I was in the insane asylum |
|
But I bet you never knew |
|
What I had to do |
|
And what I went through |
|
Just to bring you a lonely song |
|
Well, I try to do what's right |
|
Every day and every night |
|
And when I think I've won the fight |
|
The monster comes back again |
|
And I bet you never knew |
|
What I went through |
|
And what I had to do |
|
Just to bring you a lonely song |
|
If you listen very hard |
|
You can hear the desperation of a sad and broken heart |
|
My heart |
|
Well, you heard about the time |
|
But not all of it is true |
|
And you've read the magazines |
|
I've been wounded by folklore |
|
But I bet you never knew |
|
What I went through |
|
And what I had to do |
|
Just to bring you a lonely song |
|
Well, I'll tell you right now |
|
Just to set the record straight |
|
I never meant no harm |
|
Or to generate so much hate |
|
But I bet you never knew |
|
What I went through |
|
And what I had to do |
|
Just to bring you a lonely song |
