[Verse 1]
I am a troubled man
Trouble is what I am
I am a troubled man
And I'll take all you can give me
[Chorus 1]
I, I walk alone
Hand in my trouble, but still nobody's home
I'm in the poorhouse forever
I'm in the doghouse forever and ever with you
[Verse 2]
I am a simple man
Simple is what I am
I am quite simply mad
And not particularly glad to be
You were a simple friend
I complicated you, then
I lost that simple friend
All complications unending
[Chorus 2]
I, I think alone
I could use some good help with my thinking, it's too far from home
I could think of you forever
I could think of us together
But nevermind
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I am a lonely man
Lonely is what I am
Heartbroken, lonely
I think of you only, are you with me?
[Chorus 3]
I wasn't ever that smart
No, and I wasn't clever to think I had a hold of your heart
And I could break your heart forever
I could break mine and yours both right in two after you
You won't go gently into that bad earth
I will fight for you with all that is within you and for all that it's worth
Can I run to you forever?
'Cause if I can't run to you forever
How can I run to you now?
[Outro]
You live on my doorstep
Is there room in my house?
[Guitar Solo]
