[Verse 1]
When I'm in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there's a feeling I can't accept
There's one thing that helps me to forget
[Chorus]
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
[Verse 2]
If life were easy and didn't ask
Didn't tease me or take things back
I could start to understand
What makes me the man I am
[Chorus]
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
[Bridge]
Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I'm not the man I used to be
[Verse 3]
I've lost dreams that won't come back
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones I have
What's the use?
Most of them are bad
[Chorus]
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
[Outro]
Oh, stay and it's a shame
I can't explain
But I'm not the man I used to be
It's a shame, don't know my name
I can't explain
I'm not the man I used to be
Do you know my name?
Do you, do you need me?
But I'm not the man...
When I'm in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there's a feeling I can't accept
There's one thing that helps me to forget
[Chorus]
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
[Verse 2]
If life were easy and didn't ask
Didn't tease me or take things back
I could start to understand
What makes me the man I am
[Chorus]
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
[Bridge]
Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I'm not the man I used to be
[Verse 3]
I've lost dreams that won't come back
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones I have
What's the use?
Most of them are bad
[Chorus]
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be
[Outro]
Oh, stay and it's a shame
I can't explain
But I'm not the man I used to be
It's a shame, don't know my name
I can't explain
I'm not the man I used to be
Do you know my name?
Do you, do you need me?
But I'm not the man...
