lyrics

Standup Guy

Pleased to meet ya
How 'bout if I treat ya
To a meal sometime, you lovely creature
I'm just a standup guy
I think that I can teach ya

I live alone the
In crowd doesn't phone me
I don't go for no phony baloney
I'm just a standup guy
Y'know, the man he, doesn't own me

Listen to what I'm telling you
Hear what I have to say
Let's get it straight, I'm a standup guy
There's no head games to play

Now, listen honey
I ain't got no money
For a rainy day or when it's sunny
I'm just a standup guy
Kind'a sad and kind'a funny

Listen to what I'm telling you
Hear what I have to say
Let's get it straight, I'm a standup guy
There's no head games to play

The wine is flowing
And I know you're knowing
What you have in mind, you should be showing
I'm just a standup guy
Wait a minute, where ya going?
I'm just a standup guy
