(Paz Suay)
He used to walk in central park where
at least a dozen women broke his heart
and there he'd sit
and think about his past
(Josh Rouse)
she lived in brooklyn and she rode the trains
first she'd the "G" and then the "L" and that is where
they met up on that day
(Paz)
She wants to help him now
(both)
'cause he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesn't know how to smile
(Paz)
Its not that simple just to change a man
Even if you think that you have skill
with disadvantaged hearts
uh huh
(Josh)
So be cautious when you see him pass
he won't hurt you but his face is sad and eve-ry day
he's breathing through the gills
She wants to help him now
both)
'cause he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesn't know how to smile
he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesn't know how to smile
he's not happy by himself
-Instrumental-
(Paz)
The summer turned into the fall
and they took a little trip up to the cape
and that is where they laid their bodies down
(Josh)
And in the morning when the sun came up
she looked at him just to say
that she would never ever go astray
(Paz)
It's gonna work out now
'cause he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesn't know how to smile
(both)
he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesnt know how
he's the man who doesn't know how to smile
he's not happy by himself
he's not happy by himself
he's not happy by himself
he's not happy by himself
