|:     C             D           Dm             G
When I walk down the street most guys look like elves

        F                G             C   Fm  /  G :|
I don't mean to put them down but they do

|:   C            D        Dm            G
It's hard to understand me from the language that I use,

        F          G              C     Fm  /  G :|
There's no word in English for my style


Chorus:
|: Fm                   -              C  - :|
      What's a man like me supposed to do

|: Fm                   -        C  - :|
      With all this extra savoir-faire?

|: Fm           -            C   Am:|
      What is left for me to do?

2.
|:     C            D           Dm           G
I know just what to do when the ladies come 'round

        F           G             C   Fm  /  G :|
You can try to copy me but you'll fail

|:  C                      D             Dm                 G
Now you might think you're different but time will prove me right

         F                 G              C     Fm  /  G :|
When you wake up from your dream, I'll be gone


Chorus:
|: Fm                   -              C  - :|
      What's a man like me supposed to do

|: Fm                   -        C  - :|
      With all this extra savoir-faire?

|: Fm           -            C   Am:|
      What is left for me to do?
