Little Man's Bangin Lude
(Michael Masser/Gerry Goffin)
Feel like a fool
Not realizing all the value you had
I took a happy ending and made it sad
The day I walked away and left you alone
with hardly an explanation
You stood on your own
And handled the situation
And showed to me
How understanding you could be
Now I'm alone
Looking back at all the years that we shared
Thinking of the pain you should have been spared
Afraid to ask forgiveness
But where can I go
There's no one else to turn to
I still have my pride
But now its time to learn to cast it aside
Feel like a fool
Not realizing all the value you had
I took a happy ending and made it sad
The day I walked away and left you alone
with hardly an explanation
You stood on your own
And handled the situation
And showed to me
How understanding you could be
Now I'm alone
Looking back at all the years that we shared
Thinking of the pain you should have been spared
Afraid to ask forgiveness
But where can I go
There's no one else to turn to
I still have my pride
But now its time to learn to cast it aside
It Happened In Monterey
Say, it's only a paper moon,
Sailing over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make believe,
If you believed in me.
Yes, it's only a canvas sky,
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe,
If you believed in me.
Without your love it's a honky tonk parade,
Without your love it's a melody played in a penny arcade.
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
just a phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
