words and music by Jimmy Nail

since you've been gone, I've cried a river for you
but I'm just wastin' time, and wastin' water, too
I'm hanging out these nights, in these twilight worlds
with all the late-night news, and the weather-girls
no-one here but me, so I sit and cheer,
watchin' sports t.v., sipping luke-warm beer
I can take the pain, I can stand the rain
but what I cannot bear, is that bum givin' you his name

I'd like to tell all the whole wide world,
what a cryin' shame this is
but I get tongue-tied up,
just tryin' to say my name without sayin' his

what kind of a man am I? givin' up on love without a try
thought what we had was, like, a special thing,
now I find your wearin' that bum's ring!
and what kind of a girl are you,
tell me you love me then you tell him, too
guess I'll be wonderin' 'til the day I die,
what kind of man am I?
