A Man In a Trenchcoat - LaBelle

Well there was a man who lived in a shed Spent most of his days out of his head For his shed was rotten let in the rain Said it was enough to drive any man insane When it rained He felt so bad When it snowed he felt just simply sad. Well there was a girl who lived nearby Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh But she lived in a house so very big and grand For him it seemed like some very distant land So when he called her His shed to mend, She said I'm sorry you'll just have to find a friend. Well this story is not so very new But the man is me, yes and the girl is you So leave your house come into my shed Please stop my world from raining through my head Please don't think I'm not your sort You'll find that sheds are nicer than you thought.

A man is in love, how do I know? He came and walked with me, and he told me so In a song he sang, and then I knew A man is in love with you A man is in love, how did I hear? I heard him talk too much whenever you're near He whispered your name when his eyes were closed A man is in love and he knows A man is in love, how did I guess? I figuered it out while he was watching you dress He'd give you his all, if you'd but agree A man is in love and he's me
