Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Solo piano] Funny thing about being the calm one… The strong one… The gentleman… People think you don’t need nobody. ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 I’m shaking hands, I’m laughing loud, Telling stories to the crowd. Glass in my hand, suit on my back, Everybody saying I know how to act. They say “man, you got it all together,” “You always cool no matter the weather.” I just smile and nod my head… Like I agree with what they said. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 I’m the loneliest man in the room tonight, Standing in the perfect light. Everybody see the suit and the smile… But nobody see what’s behind. Loneliest man in the room, Music playing, people move. But when the night is through… Ain’t nobody I go home to. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 She said “you probably got women everywhere,” I just laughed like I didn’t care. Truth is I got numbers in my phone… But I still go home alone. Cause I don’t want just anyone, I want the right one when the night done. Someone I can talk to slow, Someone who actually want to know. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 I’m the loneliest man in the room tonight, Standing in the perfect light. Everybody see the suit and the smile… But nobody see what’s behind. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Soft, emotional] 🎶 Being wanted ain’t the same as being loved. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Verse] 🎶 So I stay a little longer than I should, Smile a little more than I could. Cause when I leave and the lights get dim… It’s just me and him. (Me and my thoughts.) 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Piano fading] Yeah… Everybody loves the gentleman. Nobody asks about the man.
