Hey man, how come you treat your woman so bad?

That's not the way you do it, no no no

You shouldn't do it like that

I could show you how to do it right

I used to practice every night on my wife, now she's gone

Yeah, she's gone

You see your mother and me, we never got along that well you see

I'd love to help you but everybody's telling me you look like me

But please don't turn out like me

You look like me but you're not like me I know

I had one, two, three, four shots of happiness

I look like a big man but I've only got a little soul

I only got a little soul

Yeah, I wish I could be an example

Wish I could say I stood up for you and fought for what I thought was right

But I never did, I just wore my trenchcoat and stayed out every single night

You think I'm joking? Well, try me, yeah, try me. yeah come on, try me tonight

I did what was wrong though I knew what was right

I've got no wisdom that I want to pass on

Just don't hang 'round here, no, I'm telling you son

You don't wanna know me, oh that's just what everybody's telling me

And everybody's telling me you look like me, but please don't turn into me

You look like me but you're not like me I hope

I have run away from the one thing that I ever made

Now I only wish that I could show you -- wish that I could show you a little soul

Wish I could show a little soul

Wish I could show a little soul

Wish I could show a little soul
