High Notes

A little girl pulled me aside and said I wouldn't make it through the night
Well thank you darling, this I know
I threw a look over my shoulder towards the guys who look dissatisfied
I'm sorry, is this song too slow?

Well I can't sing it for you just the way you want me to
I might be tall but I'm not half the man you thought you knew
Who knew?

I'll hit the high notes, wink as you walk by
I'll sing a sad song, smile as you cry
Taking the high road, look me in the eye
Time waits for no man, old man, I'm saying goodbye

I feel it deep inside my chest that I just don't fulfill you're appetite
And that's the way that this will go
Another band will play and you'll still be the kind of guy I wanna fight
I shouldn't let my feelings show

Well I can't sing it for you just the way you want me to
I might be tall but I'm not half the man you thought you knew
And if I choke then you'll be gone to find somebody new
Who knew?

I'll hit the high notes, wink as you walk by
I'll sing a sad song, smile as you cry
Taking the high road, look me in the eye
Time waits for no man, old man, I'm saying goodbye

I'm saying goodbye, I'm saying goodbye
