He used to walk in Central Park where
At least a dozen women broke his heart and there
He'd sit and think about his past
She lived in Brooklyn and she rode the trains
Where she'd take the G and then the L and that is where
He met her on that day
She wants to help him now
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how to smile
It's not that simple just to change a man
Even if you think that you're skilled with
Disadvantaged hearts, uh huh
So use some caution when you see him pass
He won't hurt you but his face is sad
And every day he's breathing through the guilt
She wants to help him now
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how to smile
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how to smile
He's not happy by himself
The summer turned into the fall and
They took a little trip up to the Cape and that is where
They lay their bodies down
And in the morning when the sun came up
She looked at him just to say that she would never
Ever go astray
It's going to work out now
Cause he's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how to smile
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how to smile
He's not happy by himself
He's not happy by himself
He's not happy by himself
He's not happy by himself
