He used to work in Central Park where

at least a dozen women broke his heart

and there he'd sit and think about his past

she lived in Brooklyn and she rode the trains

first she'd take the G then the L 

and that is where they met upon that day

she wants to help him now



Cuz he's the man who doesn't know how

he's the man who doesn't know how

he's the man who doesn't know how to smile



It's not that simple just to change a man

even if you think that you have skill 

with disadvantaged hearts

so used some caution when you see him pass

he won't hurt you but his face is sad

and everyday he's breathin through the gills

she's gonna help him now



Cuz he's the man who doesn't know how

he's the man who doesn't know how

he's the man who doesn't know how to smile

he's not happy by himself



The summer turned into fall 

and they took a little trip to the cape

and that is where they laid they're bodies down

and in the morning when the the sun came up 

she looked at him just to say 

that she would never go astray

it's gonna work out now



Cuz he's the man who doesn't know how

he's the man who doesn't know how

he's the man who doesn't know how to smile

he's not happy by himself
