Ambitious ways ste the stage Your ambitious ways put me in a daze Never giving up never putting up Never walk away , your well-mannered way A smoke filled room never turns you down Your head held hild as you touch the sky Honor compels you respect you have earned But when someone puts you down it's something you have Earned A one man band Controlling conversation with your inspiration The one and only figure with so much devastation You earn your way through as though you've nothing to do With the scandalous acts you do proudly contribute You have no way out , 'cause there's no way in It's a one man band , a one man show A one man band [Repeat first half verse] Never walk away your well-mandered way
