Couple came into the bar,
they were close but clearly not together
You could see from not so far,
they stood by her through every kind of weather
They sat down, they bought a drink
Didn't give the eye to any other
But for everyone to think
They were just a sister and a brother
You can't marry her
Cause she's gonna be somebody
else's wife
But still smile with her
And you'll be smiling for
the rest of your life
He can't marry her
Cause she will always be
somebody else's day
He can't even ask
He could never live
without a man of shame
He can't say to her
That he loves her more than any of his own
But just look at him
He'll be with her all forever, he's alone
And as they oddly chatted
He laughed at every single word she spoke
But she never noticed anything
Like she hadn't when his
feeble heart had broke
After they had finished up,
hugged each other, left to separate cars
The man who served them all the drinks,
lent to me and passed me a cigar
Oh, we'll light this up,
for the love he has is just the same as ours
It's unwarranted
And it's based upon the
moon and all the stars
He can 't marry her
Cause she'll always be
somebody else's date
He can't even ask
He could never live
without a man of shade
He can say to her
That he loves her more than any of his own
But just look at him
He'll be with her all forever, he's alone
So that man he turned his back
Walked away to take another chance
Like so many couldn't risk
Any declination to a dance
Oh, he'll dance with her
In the mirror in his bedroom
till he dies
Oh, he'll cry for her
Till there aren't any tears left in his eyes
He can't marry her
Cause she'll always be
somebody else's dame
He can't even ask
He could never live
without a man of shame
He can't say to her
That he loves her more than any of his own
But just look at him
He'll be with her all forever, he's alone
you
