A Man In My Position

Verse 1
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Susan
Goodbye Sally Jean, Yvonne, Marie, and Judith
I’ll be gone from here when the sun comes up tomorrow
All my lady friends don’t bring me nothing but sorrow
To count them takes a mathematician
To please them takes a real magician
Put somebody else in my position

Verse 2
Incrimination, no recreation
Interrogation by the girls of this location
It’s a simple case of self-preservation
I’m just not cut out for a life of captivation
To stand and face the opposition
I’d have to be a politician
Put somebody else in my position

Bridge
Too many girls have ambitions
I’m not the guy they want, goodness knows
But women are stranger than fiction
And they keep on coming round here by the throes

Verse 3
I realize that I’ve been unwise
I’ve been hypnotized by pretty merchandise
But this suitcase in my hand is no illusion
It’s the conclusion to this state of mass confusion
I’ll take my leave with your permission
You can use your intuition
Put somebody else in my position
