why must you be this way

why can't you understand

that my life my life ain't nothing without you girl

why must you talk in vain

and tell me life is cool

and then you turn around and shut me out

said our love was true

and there'd be no more blues

you must have changed your mind

i found another man

you got to understand

understand that you release a chill

and there ain't nothing nothing nothing nothing no

and nothing can hold us down

'cause i

i'm just a man thinking of myself

and i

i'm just a man wanting someone else

i just don't know why

why i'm by myself tonight

please just release my love

i'll search for someone else

i'll only think of you when i'm blue

only from time to time

we try to fool ourselves

not go on to someone else

but babe i'll never get you out of my mind

cause i

i'm just a man thinking of myself

and i

i'm just a man wanting someone else

and i

i just don't know why

why i'm by myself tonight

yeah

oh oh oh

'cause i

i'm just a man thinking of myself

and i

i'm just a man wanting someone else

and i

i just don't know why

why i'm by myself

and i'm thinking of myself

wanting someone else

but i'm by my by my by my by myself tonight
