It seems just like

yesterday when we

were standing here

A Yankee's hat

upon my head and

your voice in my ear

You talked about

the future and all

the things we'd do

I never thought your

lovin' words would

frighten me from you.

I remember when

I sold my car to

board that train

you said you were

sure that I would

not come back again

and now you see

with your own eyes

and start to realize

I'm not the man

I thought I was

so try to sympathize.

The way you think

about your life

is gonna change

change tonight.

Don't even try

out that frown

`cuz your man

is back in town.

I'm sure you've

been thinkin' `bout

just where the

hell I've been

painted your own

pictures of the

trouble I got in

There were times

I will admit my

heart saw better days

but I'm not the type

that has to lose to

find I had it made.

No use thinkin' too

much about things

we cannot change

I know you think it's

crazy but I'm here to

set things straight

I'm standing here

to say that I'll

give love a try

It's my complicated

way to say I'll simplify.

The way you think

about your life

is gonna change

change tonight

Don't even try

out that frown

`cuz your man

is back in town

Baby it's cool

to take your time

I was a fool

out of my mind

so let's jump off of

this merrygoround

`cuz your man

is back in town.

I was drawn away

now I'm back to stay

I was wrong to think

there was a better way

Now I see

with my own eyes

`bout time I realize

I hope in time

you will forgive

I'll never leave your side.

The way you think

about your life

is gonna change

change tonight

Don't even try

out that frown

`cuz your man

is back in town

Baby it's cool

to take your time

I was a fool

out of my mind

So let's jump off of

this merrygoround

`cuz your man

is back in town

So let's jump off of

this merrygoround

`cuz your man
