Cold nights in my empty place
I feel down, I feel down, I feel down
There's a girl who thought she knew my face
She put me down, put me down, put me down
Though I'm not gonna change for you everyday
I know my name, know my numbers,
Know I'm much too late,
I'm no superman, superface, superstar
But I'm not going on without you

Chorus

Charline is on my mind,
Look at me, oh can't you see I'm blind,
Your time for a little love,
is gonna make me see again,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I woke up that day,
I had luck, I had luck, I had luck,
Charline came down my way,
With her eyes, with her smile, just for a walk,
And she said, don't you like to be a simple man,
With a feel for simple things and daily life,
And I said: "Sure I will, oh girl, I like you so,
This is all I want, that I feel."

Chorus

Then I made a great invention,
I got rich I got proud,
For a few disgusting moments,
I was wrong, I was bad, I've been outside
Oh Charline why don't you hear me
Can't you see, I'm still the same
I feel cold, I feel lonely
And I'm not going on without you
