Keep the faith child, whatcha say to me   Ah, let me tell ya what those pretty eyes can't see   You're carousin' over London town   You got some cheshire cats chasin' you around   Me, I'm sittin' on my window seat   I watch the ladies down on 42nd street      I'm a man of reputation   I would never steal your pride   I'm a man of obligation   I don't need to hide      I'm sore for drinkin', oh its been so long   My nights seem endless and I'm really not that strong   And I can see you, have you in my sleep   But nightmares from the bottle, they ain't hardly fit to keep, no      In my trials and tribulations   I have never been in doubt   I don't feign intimidation   I can't do without      So now I'm sittin', wearin' through my pants   Too much sufferin' and not enough romance   Now I'm hangin' from my window seat   Drool on the ladies down on 42nd street      I'm a man of reputation   I would never make you pay   I'm in need of some relations   Just can't stand another day   I'm a man of consternation   I can't stand to be alone   I'm a victim of temptation   You best not leave me on my own   You just might be sorry honey
