Desperate Young Man Lyrics

(Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)

[Verse 1]
Oh, I gotta rock as big as a mountain (Yeah!)
Got a hammer and chisel in my hand (Yeah!)
Gonna carve me a statue of a beautiful lady
I'll be a holy man
Oh, marry her if I can

[Chorus]
Oh, that’s how disgusted I am
With your loving, nothing can stand
I can't be trusted, no ma'am
I’m a desperate young man
Oh yeah (Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Oh yeah (Desperate young man)

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna carve me a gentle smile on her face (Yeah!)
That only time can erase (Yeah!)
I will use a bicycle rim for a ring (Yeah!)
Put her down again if I can
Oh, and run, get the preacher man

[Chorus]
Oh, that's how disgusted I am
With your loving, nothing can stand
I can't be trusted, no ma'am
I'm a desperate young man
Oh (Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Oh yeah

[Bridge]
I'll make her lips sugar-coated
Sweeter than your lips
Oh, I'll make her eyes shine
For me all of the time
She, she will have a heart that’s warm
She’ll never, never do me wrong
Yeah (Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Oh yeah (Desperate young man)

[Verse 3]
Oh, I know she's just a big stone, God (Yeah!)
With no love or life in her heart (Yeah!)
And I know she’ll never, never call my name (Yeah!)
Oh, and never hear a word I said
Never gonna talk of his name

[Chorus]
Oh, that's how disgusted I am
With your loving, nothing can stand
I can't be trusted no more
I'm a desperate young man
Oh (Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Oh yeah (Desperate young man)

[Outro]
I know she’s just a big stone, God
(I'm a desperate young man)
I know there's no life in her heart
(I'm a desperate young man)
But I'm a desperate young man
(I'm a desperate young man)
Oh yes I am
(Desperate young man)
I know she'll never call my name
(I'm a desperate young man)
