I once had a man with a soul
Nearly pitch black.
But boy, what a beauty he was to behold.
Nearly pitch black.
But boy, what a beauty he was to behold.
I once had a man who loved
Others' gold,
And never knew the value of what he already owned.
Others' gold,
And never knew the value of what he already owned.
I once had a man who was sweet
As he was plain;
The fence around his home was as far as he dare roam.
As he was plain;
The fence around his home was as far as he dare roam.
The man I have yet to know is free.
Not one to be bought or sold,
He is rich with time and a curious thirst
Not one to be bought or sold,
He is rich with time and a curious thirst
For a woman who loves to be alone.
