I can't stand me since I lost you And I can't stand nobody else I can't stand me since you went away And I gotta get away from myself I used to be a high-stepper with a lot on the ball My friends all called me Ace It took a woman like you to bring a good man down And make me ashamed to even show my face I can't stand me since I lost you And I can't stand nobody else I can't stand me since you went away And I gotta get away from myself Oh, when I look in the glass and see a grown man cry It makes me wanna hang my head I used to feel real proud just to be alive But now I think I'd rather be dead I can't stand me since I lost you And I can't stand nobody else I can't stand me since you went away And I gotta get away from myself I'm gonna find me a river about ten miles wide With a bridge right all way cross I'm gonna drag myself about half way over And then I'm gonna throw me off I can't stand me since I lost you And I can't stand nobody else I can't stand me since you went away And I gotta get away from myself And I gotta get away from myself
