This man's a child, this man is old Sometimes he's mild, sometimes he's bold This man, I love sometimes in spite Of wishing he'd stick to his guns or abandon the fight But when he shines, oh when he shines Yes, when he shines, he shines so bright Sometimes a tramp, sometimes a dude He changes colors just like a chameleon, can't find the mood He is a song that's not easy to write He's the moon in the morning and the sun out at night But when he shines, when he shines Oh, when he shines, he shines so bright This man's a gentleman, this man is strong This temperamental man plays me along But when he shines, when he shines Oh, when he shines, he shines so bright Yes, when he shines, when he shines Oh, when he shines, he shines so bright But when he shines, oh, when he shines Yes, when he shines, he shines so bright
