Who knows what I'm doin here tonight on this barstool As if I didn't know where I should be Through the darkness of the dim neon And lonely shade of blue The light is a mighty hard thing to see But sitting here it just occurred to me I was the man she counted on To do her right, Lord she was wrong I was the man who wasn't there Who made it seem he didn't care Now she needs someone to hold her To make her feel alive And she'll be with a different man tonight I can't believe I turned my back to the love There in my heart And turned away from those tears in her eyes Now I know where I belong is right there in her arms Though it took so long for me to see the light I'm leaving here a different man tonight I was the man she counted on To do her right, Lord she was wrong I was the man who wasn't there Who made it seem he didn't care Now she needs someone to hold her To make her feel alive And she'll be with a different man tonight Now she needs someone to hold her And make her feel alive And she'll be with a different man tonight Oh, she'll be with a different man tonight
