one man
when all the phone calls and the lunchtime tete-a-tetes
and gifts and fancy restaurants have all gone by the way
all the flowery promises have wilted into lies
and all your dreams seem to fade before your eyes

one man, says he's sorry
one man, says he still cares
and there is one man, says he didn't mean to
and there's that one man, but he's not there

blinded by desire in the sunny days of may
he seems filled with love for you and clever things to say
how it's six months later and a long way down the road
the car door slams and leaves you standing in the road

one man, says he's sorry
one man, says he still cares
and there is one man, says he didn't mean to
and there's that one man, but he's not there

can we still be friends, what does it matter
with friends like you, who needs coiled adders
walking under hammers dropped from ladders
shot to tatters

(break)

shower him with affection, even love him if you dare
one thing i should mention, just don't ever let him see you care

one man, says he's sorry
one man, says he still cares
and there is one man, says he didn't mean to
and there's that one man, but he's not there
one man, says he's sorry
one man, says he still cares
and there is one man, says he didn't mean to
and there's that one man, but he's not there
