I saw a Dman about 50 or so, he looked loneCadd9ly butD his eyes were bright
He was walkDing up Holland Park Road and I Cadd9stoppeDd him to ask for a light
He Dpractically froze when I spoke but eCadd9ased wDhen he saw my cigarette
Then I saw Das he lit up my smoke beneath his Cadd9coat hDe was naked and wet
Chorus
With Dmeyes full of shame for he D7kneCw that I knew
He G/Bslumped to the wall with a G/Cmoan
I said, "I Cknow there's no Gname for Cwhat you go Gthrough
But Asus4how A how can you do it alone?"

I crossed the street to the local news store
And I flicked through some cheap magazines
Beside me some school kid I saw
Stuffed some girlie mags down into his jeans
The shop girl was watching amazed, she asked me to call for the police.
She screamed at his blushing young face and he escaped into the streets
repeat Chorus
With eyes full of shame for he knew that I knew
He slumped to the wall with a moan
I said, "I know there's no name for what you go through
But how, how can you do it
aEblone?"
Ooh, Bbhow can you do it aFlone? C
I need your Ebhelp,Bb so I can do it by myCself. G
Do it aEbloneBb, don't have to breathe down the Cphone G
I Ebain't got a Cclue 'bout the Dm7things that you Gdo
But Asus4how can you do it aAlone?

D How can you Ddo it? Cadd9 How Dcan you Cadd9do it?D
Back at the flat my girl sat in the shower
And wasn't too keen on me sharing
She came out well after an hour and by that time I was past caring
Some women it seems have the knack
Of attaining the stars in their dreams
They simply relax and lay back while people like us scratch our jeans
repeat Chorus
With eyes full of shame and I know it must show
I slump and I fall and I groan
Will somebody explain what I need to know
How... How can you do it alone?
How can you do it? Do it alone...
How can you do it without any help?
How can you do it all by yourself?
