I thought I told you if you went away

With you gone my life would just be a disaster

I'm not the kind to kneel and beg you stay

What's going on in your head tell me what's the matter 



I know it's hard for you while I'm away

Left alone you sometimes wonder why you bother



Cos deep inside you loose hope every day

Thinking that I could be somewhere with another

Ooh baby I your heart's uptight don't let my love for you get out of sight 

Ooh baby if I stay the night. Don't turn your back don't you turn out the light

Life can be tough with a guitar man 



I tried to live my life another way 

Went to work from nine till five like any other

But being a guitar man who can't play

Is like a searcher who has nothing to discover



It's getting late and I have to go

So what's the use in crying

It can't change much now 

It won't be long till I'm back off the road

When I come back will you see me

Do your best to please me

Don't stay away I just can't get on without you
