Lovely Man

Lovely Man

Mike Roe

Hey little Mama, be my friend
You can be the trouble that you think I'm in
I'm a lovely man, lovely man
Yes I am, I'm a lovely man.

I traveled the world the first time in my life
Fell in love with a woman but she wasn't my wife
I'm a lovely man, lovely man
Yes I am, I'm a lovely man.
(Right by damn, I'm a lovely man.)

Ooo, lovely man
(keep on dancin' and a prancin')
Ooo...

Livin' high in a house of mirrors
Let a girl named Delilah cut my hair
I'm a lovely man, a lovely man
Yes I am, I'm a lovely man.
(Right by damn, I'm a lovely man.)

You never told me when I started out
Sailin' all alone in a sea of doubt
I'd end up a lonely, lonely man
Lonely, lovely man

Settin' my sight on some bigger things
Mama's old Cadillac and diamond rings
I'm a lovely man, lovely man
What I am is a lovely man.

Ooo, lovely man
(keep on dancin' and a prancin')
Ooo, lovely man
Whoa, just a lovely man
Ooo...
Lovely man!

The original wording of the final line of the 2nd and 3rd chorus was "Right by damn, I'm a lovely man." These lines were later edited to match the final line of the 1st chorus. This song was originally slated to appear between "Three Legged Dog" and "When the Judgment Comes" on Real Men Cry.
