Riff 1

i'm the kind of guy that likes to talk

i'm the kind of guy hates to be frozen out

i can't stand it when i get this way

total mental shutdown

riff 2

& i choke up like a chump

words in my throat just become a senseless lump

my heart's not in it 'cause it's just a pump

Riff 1

body lying out on the pavement

eyes out of focus on the dirty street

standing right here is the person

i've been waiting for months to meet

riff 2

& i just drop my eyes down like two rocks

i hear my name, my circulation stops

i peer up at her like i'm looking at a cop

Riff 1

Riff 1

i'm the kind of dog that likes to sit in your lap

i back away, about an inch tall

that's my special situation

riff 2

now if i think about her at all i become a raw nerve

whole throat gets dry & vision blurred

thoughts in my head fall down like dead birds

i don't know what kind if any purpose i might serve
