Album: A Man Like Me: The Early Years of Roger Miller
I walk the streets and wring my hands,
trying hard to understand,
but I just can't make myself believe
that it's for good she's gone,
why do l go through this pain,
day and night it's all the same,
heaven help a man like me who walks alone
A man like me can't sit and cry,
l walk the streets and wonder why
a love like ours should go so wrong,
l haven't seen her in so long
The honky-tonks have no appeal,
They don't help the way l feel,
What on earth can ease a heart like mine
That feels it can't go on
Things have changed from what they were,
Life's so different without her
Heaven help a man like me who walks alone
A man like me can't sit and cry,
l walk the streets and wonder why
a love like ours should go so wrong,
l haven't seen her in so long
The honky-tonks have no appeal,
they don't help the way l feel,
what on earth can ease a heart like mine
that feels it can't go on
things have changed from what they were,
life's so different without her
heaven help a man like me who walks alone
