Lyrics
DESPERATE MAN
Desperate men do foolish things
When they take off their rings
Never listen with their heads
But with other parts instead
Desperate men don't see tomorrow
Filled with guilt and sorrow
They tell lies to their wives
And tear apart their lives
CHORUS: He sees something in the mirror
There goes a desperate man
Doesn't look like him at all
Trying even though he knows
She won't return his calls
Oh he's a desperate man
Desperate men end up alone
Look up when the whiskey's gone
He knows he once had it all
Now watch him as he falls
REPEAT CHORUS
It breaks my heart to watch
Think I've had enough
I'm all out of love
He sees something in the mirror
There goes a desperate man
Doesn't look like him at all
Trying even though he knows
I won't return his calls
Oh he's a desperate man
Oh he's a desperate man
