You're the seventh son of the seventh son
Maybe that's why you're such a strange and special one
You can't even seem to love yourself
And with a few exceptions, not anybody else
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink
You can give a man your whole heart and soul
But you cannot make him think
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely
You can tell him the date of departure
Exactly the place and the time
He might really wanna be there
But he misses every time
Is he a man or a paper tiger
When you need him will he run or stand beside you
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely...
Maybe that's why you're such a strange and special one

You can give a man your whole heart and soul
But you cannot make him think
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely
You can tell him the date of departure
Exactly the place and the time
He might really wanna be there
But he misses every time
Is he a man or a paper tiger
When you need him will he run or stand beside you
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely...
