I Cwon't take your pity, and I Fwon't be ignored.
I dCon't want your mGoney but I wouFldn't mind to be adoCred.
CI won't be forgotten, I Fwon't be denied.
CI won't be held guGilty for anytFhing I might've trCied.
GAnd there's no spooks around my door,
FPaying my rent or sweeping my floor.
AmI never said things I never did mean,
EOnce or twice I've lied.
FI've always been kind to women who have tCaken me iFn.
CSometimes you're a lGoser, someFtimes you just can't Cwin.
CI can't live forever, I caFn't be blamed for trying.
CI can't beg forGgiveness just becauFse you won't find me cryiCng. 
CI won't want you thinking IF'm a gutless man.
CStreet fights they don't scGare me, I avFoid them when I caCn.
GAnd there's no doubt about it, it's a poinFtless age built with men among 
AmIt's hard to be the saint when you steal the best lines,
 Esomeone else implied.
FI never been one to talk much, I've just liCved in my sFkin.
CSometimes you're a sinGner, sometiFmes you just can't wCin.
