People say I'm a happy go-lucky guy

When the music and wine start to flow

I go to discos and gay cabarets

Unable to let myself go



Some people live to be the life of the party

Lampshade hat and they're away to the races

So many people loving so many lovers

Takin' everybody to some strangers place





Don't get me wrong I've had my share of affairs

I've had some hot nights singin' one night stands

But right up front I think it's only fair

To tell you I've got different plans





Chorus:

That's not the way I am

I'm not that kind of man

It's not that I am shy

I'm just not that kind of guy

So if you feel the same

You're tired of playing games

Then try to understand

That I'm not that kind of man





A lot of people take their loving too lightly

They change emotions like they're changing their clothes

They come alive and thrive on new lovers nightly

How they do it I don't know, 'cause





Chorus





If you see him standing on the edge of the action

You think he's only playing it cool

He's only looking for a little sweet satisfaction

I'm tired of being somebody's fool





So if you spot me on the fringe of the party

Holding up the walls with hot and hungry eyes

Don't be afraid to say hello to a stranger

You just might like your surprise





Chorus
