People say i'm a happy go-lucky guy
When the music and wine start to flow
I go to discos and gay cabarets
Unable to let myself go

Some people live to be the life of the party
Lampshade hat and they're away to the races
So many people loving so many lovers
Takin' everybody to some strangers place


Don't get me wrong i've had my share of affairs
I've had some hot nights singin' one night stands
But right up front i think it's only fair
To tell you i've got different plans


Chorus:
That's not the way i am
I'm not that kind of man
It's not that i am shy
I'm just not that kind of guy
So if you feel the same
You're tired of playing games
Then try to understand
That i'm not that kind of man


A lot of people take their loving too lightly
They change emotions like they're changing their clothes
They come alive and thrive on new lovers nightly
How they do it i don't know, 'cause


Chorus


If you see him standing on the edge of the action
You think he's only playing it cool
He's only looking for a little sweet satisfaction
I'm tired of being somebody's fool


So if you spot me on the fringe of the party
Holding up the walls with hot and hungry eyes
Don't be afraid to say hello to a stranger
You just might like your surprise


Chorus
