NEARLY MAN

I'm your nearly man
Spare me a bow
What we nearly did
Is history now
I lost the keys to the promised land
I was close so close
I'm your nearly man

I'm your nearly man
I guess it's tough
I wanted you badly
But not bad enough
I was just about to call
I was your number two fan
23/6 I was your nearly man

It went wine to water
A King to a Jack
Gold top base metal
Sharp to flat
Riches to rags
Gloss to matt
Goodnight Vienna
And stuff like that

Come the day
I was standing at the gate
The last to know
I was the first too late
Eyes on the prize
Head in the sand
That was me
I was your nearly man

Hey babe
You were nearly mine
I nearly forgive you
I'm nearly fine
Simply the nest best
Here I stand
Give it up girl
For your nearly man
