Before I ever have the nerve to turn

At any money, compliments, and

publicity

You may think you see a man who is 
looking for attention,
F                                 
But you're looking at a man who

Buy an island, run a phone line,

I went to see this therapist

                 F                 
She said, "Just do the best you can

 do"

Many years later, another man

And knows he needs at least ten
