Hey, won't you tell me your name
It sounds like a line, but I've seen you before
At that place, that corner café
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 losers make you happy? Do the lovers make you sad?
Do the losers make you happy? Do the lovers make you...sad?
