"When You're A Man On Your Own" lyrics

When You're A Man On Your Own

They don't have words to say how blue I'm feeling
This old world can lift you up
Then lay you down
It's a mighty lonesome feeling
When your lover's gone
This old town grows colder
When you're a man on your own

I keep walking the streets
Of this olg city
Window shopping
But I can't see a thing
Just walking and huming
This lonesome song
Yeah, this town grows colder
When you're a man on your own

Oh look at them they're smiling
They don't know I'm here
They couldn't care less
If I just up and disappeared
There must be a reason
Why my nights are so long
Oh, it's a mighty lonesome feeling
When you're a man on your own
