Why sing a lonely song?

The whole world knows that love goes wrong

Why bruise a heart that isn't broken?

It isn't broken, it can be broken Life's just a show for free

Come along and watch with me

The only sins are words unspoken

Words unspoken, never spoken Sweet things come and go

Give me shame, I'll give you woe

To live for love isn't so easy

It isn't easy, it won't be easy How all good men try

Look around and wonder why

Can they shape this world to please me

Can they please me, should they please me And follow and maybe you'll correct me

I wish you'd never met me for I am no gentle man

And follow and while you watch and wonder

I'll pull the world asunder and show you who I am Send me a gentle dream

Of love so strange it's never seen

And prove how such a love can happen

It can happen, make it happen 'Cos fine things don't abound

Fade away without a sound

But hope must never end or slacken

Never slacken, never slacken And follow and maybe you'll correct me

I wish you'd never met me, I am no gentle man

And follow and while you watch and wonder

I'll pull the world asunder and show you who I am
