You're the seventh son of the seventh son Maybe that's why you're such a strange and special one You can't even seem to love yourself And with a few exceptions, not anybody else You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make him drink You can give a man your whole heart and soul But you cannot make him think You could have been with me Instead of alone and lonely Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah You can tell him the day of departure Exactly the place and the time He might really wanna be there
But he misses every time Is he a man or a paper tiger? When you need him will he run or stand beside you? You could have been with me Instead of alone and lonely You could have been with me Instead of alone and lonely Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey You could have been with me Instead of alone and lonely Yeah, you could have been with me Instead of alone and lonely You could have been with me Instead of alone and lonely You could have been with me Instead of alone and lonely
