A Decent Man

from A Decent Man by Michael Weston King

lyrics

She's only six feet away, right across the aisle
If I could see beyond here boyfriend I’d flash my winning smile
And I might be the older man full of confidence and charm
But I would turn her world around if I could get her in my arms


I’m a decent man, I do the decent thing
When I can......and I can, yes I can
I’m a decent man, I do the decent thing
When I can......and I can, yes I can


She’s maybe only 22, but I would show her what to do
I guide her through the back streets of my tiny mind
And she would thank me when I’m older, no longer shy, a little bolder
And all of those who followed me, they’d owe me a debt in time


I’m a decent man, I do the decent thing
When I can......and I can, yes I can
I’m a decent man, I do the decent thing
When I can......and I can, yes I can

And if I cant
then I wont weep
I’ll be indecent in my sleep

I’m disgusting, I’m pathetic, I’ll do things you’d never believe
I’m always looking at you when you can’t see me
I’m 45, no I’m 28, O.K. I’m really 33
But age is not important, what I crave is purity.

I’m a decent man, I do the decent thing
When I can......and I can, yes I can
I’m a decent man, I do the decent thing
When I can......and I can, yes I can

And if I can’t then
I’m not blind
I’ll be indecent in my mind
