Hey, won't you tell me your name
It sounds like a line, but I've seen you before
At that place, that corner cafª
Sitting alone, drinkin' champa-a-agne...

Hey, let me refrain
There's a place down the road Where you don't drink alone
And there's this band playing toni-ight
And they're keeping me real, they've been keeping me alive

Well, I ain't no son of Sam
This ain't no bitter plan to get you through my doorwa-ay
Try, try to understand it's hard to be a man, you're feelin' like a dog...

Hey, that's a really nice name
Now, *that's* a line, I know you've heard it before
But I wanna know did the last one make you bleed?
Did he ruin it for me? Did he ruin it for me?

Oh, well I ain't no son of Sam
This ain't no bitter plan to get you through my doorwa-ay
Try, try to understand it's so hard to be a man, you're feelin' like a dog...oh

Did you forget how to read a smile?
Did you forget how to read a smile?
And could you ever believe these eyes?
And could you ever believe these eyes...?

Ooooh, ahhh-ahh, ahhh-ahh, ahhh-ahhh, ahhhhh, ahhh-ahh, ahhh-ahh, ahhh-ahh...

Well, I ain't no son of Sam
This ain't no bitter plan to get you through my doorwa-ay
Try, try to understand it's hard to be a man, you're feelin' like a dog...

(Do the lovers make you sad? Do the losers make you happy? Do the lovers make you sad?)
Do the losers make you happy? Do the lovers make you sad?
Do the losers make you happy? Do the lovers make you...sad?
