Who knows what i'm doing 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 (chorus) 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 her 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 (repeat chorus) (tag) 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
