Shall I tell you about my life,
They say I'm a man of the world.
I've flown across every tide,
And I've seen lots of pretty girls.
I guess I've got everything I need,
I wouldn't ask for more.
And there's no one I'd rather be,
But I just wish that I'd never been born.
Break:
And I need a good woman,
To make me feel like a good man should.
I don't say I'm a good man,
Or that I would be, if I could. *
I could tell you about my life,
And keep you amused I'm sure.
About all the times I've cried,
And how I don't want to be sad anymore.
And how I wish I was in love.
* Google searches for the lyrics will all, wrongly give this line as :
Oh, but I would be if, I could.
-which completely distorts the meaning of the song.
