Before the tears I've cried
Have even dried
She'll be with him
Look in each other's eyes
And with her lips still warm with lies
Ahe'll kiss him.
And though she knows she's wrong
She just keeps on keepin' me hanging on
Tell me what's a man to do
When the one he's promised to finds somebody new?
Should I just stand by
Watch the love I've lived for die
Lord, I wish I knew
Tell me what's a man to do.
(Instrumental)
Maybe I'll make a stand
Or just wash my hands
Of her forever
But I've never been alone
Except for here at home
When they're together.
And though I know it's wrong
I let her go on just keepin' me hanging on
Tell me what's a man to do
When the one he's promised to finds somebody new?
Tell me what's a man to do?
