When I wake up
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out
Yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver
Yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working
Yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money
Comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home
Oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
Da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da
When I'm lonely
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming
Well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out
Well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home
Yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
Da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da
Da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da
Da-da-da, lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da-lie, da-da
And I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
