Edit By: 216.73.216.251

Words and music by jimmy nail

Since youve been gone, Ive cried a river for you
But Im just wastin time, and wastin water, too
Im hanging out these nights, in these twilight worlds
With all the late-night news, and the weather-girls
No-one here but me, so I sit and cheer,
Watchin sports t.v., sipping luke-warm beer
I can take the pain, I can stand the rain
But what I cannot bear, is that bum givin you his name

Id like to tell all the whole wide world,
What a cryin shame this is
But I get tongue-tied up,
Just tryin to say my name without sayin his

What kind of a man am i? givin up on love without a try
Thought what we had was, like, a special thing,
Now I find your wearin that bums ring!
And what kind of a girl are you,
Tell me you love me then you tell him, too
Guess Ill be wonderin til the day I die,
What kind of man am i?

Its a cryin shame, whats become of me
Im not half the man, that I used to be
And its yous to blame, with your dirty tricks
Give a dog a name, youd best beleave it sticks

I cant compete with the fancy cars
And the limousines he owns
But theres a heart beatin ten feet tall
Inside of all of this skin an bones

What kind of a man am i? I read the papers,
Let the world go by
I let him walk you right through the door,
When I shoulda punched him on the jaw
And what kind of a girl are you,
Tell me you love me then you tell him, too
Too dumb to laugh and too proud to cry,
What kind of man am i?

Instrumental solo

Its bad enough tryin to hold my head up
On the streets of our tiny town
If thers a God up in heaven,
I wonder if hed send a bolt of lightnin down?

What kind of a man am i?
Id love to tell you but Im too damn shy
I stood an let him give me all that grief,
When I shoulda kicked him in the teeth!
And what kind of a girl are you,
Tell me you love me then you tell him too
Guess Ill be wonderin til the day I die,
What kind of man am i?
