I can't stand to see

A good man go to waste

One who never combs his hair

Or shaves his face



A man who leans on wine

Over love that's told a lie

Oh, it tears me up to see

A grown man cry



So I never go around mirrors

I can't stand to see me

Without you by my side

No, I never go around mirrors

Because I gotta heartache to hide



I can't stand to be

Where heartaches hang around

It's so easy for the blues to get me down

To see a grown man crawl

Is more than I can stand

And I look into the eyes of half a man



So I don't go around mirrors

I can't stand to see

Me without you by my side



No, I never go around mirrors

Because I gotta heartache to hide

And it tears me up to see

A grown man cry
