fall in love with him

it's just no good

you know that you should

i wish that you would

if only you could

more than my friend he's been my brother

he's said to me he's dreamed you'd be his wife

when i think of you it's as just another lover

it's a simple choice of how you see your life. a singer's just another traveling salesman

another night

another town to sell my wares

and the times that you'd be riding the excitement

won't make up for times when no one would be there. he's an open book why don't you read him?

he's already hooked why don't you lead him?

take a look you just might need him someday

in some way. i'm the medicine man i've started to mumble

a tight-rope walker i've started to stumble. humpty dumpty already tumbled down

haven't you found

it's just no good

you know that you should

i wish that you would

if only you could

you know i never thought i'd ever hear me saying this

turning down a chance for touching something fine

but i'd rather have you happy and completely his

then have you waiting for me when i find the time. he's an open book why don't you read him?

he's already hooked why don't you lead him?

take a look you just might need him someday

in some way. and i'm the medicine man i've started to mumble

a tight-rope walker i've started to stumble. humpty dumpty already tumbled down

haven't you found

it's just no good

you know that you should

i wish that you would

if only you could

you know that you could

i wish that you would

if only you could

it's just no good

you know that you should.
