[Verse 1]

And all the sky is turning blue

If I could only get past you

Then I would know what we've got here

Maybe see where we live

If I could only rearrange with you

Soldier the plans and try to change

Then I might feel like your hero

Coming home from war

Then I might understand

How I ended up a man

[Chorus 1]

Darling, please forgive me

I was sitting on a fence

I was slowly going out of my head

I did not hear a word that you said

I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed

[Verse 2]

If I could take your blows, If I could get past go

If I could find a way of fixing all the things that I broke

Then I would, if I could

And I might understand how I ended up a man

Yeah, I might understand how I ended up a man

[Bridge]

Oh but the truth is hard to find

When it’s playing tricks with your mind

[Chorus 2]

Darling, please forgive me

I was hanging with my friends

I was slowly getting outta my head

I did not hear a word that you said

I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed

I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed

I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed
