Lyrics

Man Behind The Times
Jenkins/Seighman/Donahue




HE?LL COME HOME AT SIX
KICK OFF HIS SHOES
KICK BACK IN HIS CHAIR
PICK-UP THE NEWS
MY SUITCASE IS PACKED
SITTIN? THERE BY THE DOOR
BUT HE WON?T HAVE A CLUE
I?M NOT IN LOVE ANYMORE
I?LL TRY ONE LAST TIME
ASK HOW WAS YOUR DAY
BUT HE WON?T SAY A WORD
AS HE TURNS THE FIRST PAGE

CHORUS:

HE?S A MAN BEHIND THE TIMES
LOST IN THE EVENING HEADLINES
THERE?S A PAPER THIN WALL BETWEEN US
HE CAN?T READ MY MIND
HOW DO I BREAK THE NEWS
TO THE MAN BEHIND THE TIMES

I TRIED TO TELL HIM
SO MANY TIMES
THAT LOVE WITHOUT ROMANCE
WILL NEVER SURVIVE
BUT THERE WHERE THOSE TIMES
AND IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART
THAT WE WERE SO CLOSE
NOW WERE SO FAR APART
KNOW I WON?T LOOK BACK
CAUSE I KNOW FOR SURE
HE WON?T EVEN LOOK UP
WHEN I CLOSE THE DOOR

CHORUS: REPEAT

AT THE OFFICE HE?S A MAN OF VISION
NOT A LADDER THAT HE CAN?T CLIMB
BUT AT HOME I ONLY SEE HIM
AS A MAN BEHIND THE TIMES
THERE?S A PAPER THIN WALL BETWEEN US
HE CAN?T READ MY MIND
HOW DO I BREAK THE NEWS
TO THE MAN BEHIND THE TIMES
