All this time walking around
Pretending it's over
And that now, it's clear to se
Got no need to hold her

I think about [bad word] My friends asking me, yeah
Why [bad word] about her, man
Alright

Still contemplating on how this good relationship was leading us nowhere
And, unexpectedly, as I tried to make it she said, baby, don't bother

If it's a [bad word] through being free
They asking me falteringly
Why [bad word] about her, man
Alright

Well it's been so long and all this time I can feel the pressure
Getting stronger since I can no longer reach out and touch her
You know I'm hangin on
You know I'm not that strong
Alright

Since I fell for you
I'm wondering, baby, what can a poor man do
Alright

All this time walking around pretending it's over
And that now it's clear to see
Got no need to hold her

If it's a [bad word] through being free
They asking me falteringly, yeah
Why [bad word] about her, man
Why [bad word] about her, man
Alright

Well it's been so long
Sing it to me one more time, baby
Well it's been so long
I wanna hear it again
Well it's been so long
Go on, baby, one time
Well it's been so long
That's right
So long

Well it's been so long and all this time I can feel the pressure
Getting stronger since I can no longer reach out and touch her
You know I'm hangin on
You know I'm not that strong
Alright

Since I fell for you
I'm wondering, baby, what can a poor man do
Alright

Since I fell for you
I'm wondering, baby, what can a poor man do, do, do, oh, oh, oh, ooh
