[Verse 1]
Why sing a lonely song?
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why bruise a heart that isn't broken?
It isn't broken, it can be broken
[Verse 2]
Life's just a show for free
Come along and watch with me
The only sins are words unspoken
Words unspoken, never spoken
[Verse 3]
Sweet things come and go
Give me shame, I'll give you woe
To live for love isn't so easy
It isn't easy, it won't be easy
[Verse 4]
How all good men try
Look around and wonder why
Can they shape this world to please me?
Can they please me, should they please me?
[Chorus]
And follow, and maybe you'll correct me
I wish you'd never met me
For I am no gentle man
Follow and while you watch and wonder
I pull the world asunder
And show you who I am
[Verse 5]
Send me a gentle dream
Of love so strange it's never seen
And prove how such a love can happen
It can happen, make it happen
[Verse 6]
Fine things don't abound
Fade away without a sound
But hope must never end or slacken
Never slacken, never slacken
[Chorus]
And follow and maybe you'll correct me
I wish you'd never met me
I am no gentle man
Follow and while you watch and wonder
I'll pull the world asunder
And show you who I am
