Lyrics
Have you ever ridden horses
Through a rainstorm?
Or a lion through a busy street bazaar
There are many things
I'd love to turn you on to
But somehow I feel
They're safer where they are
Yes, there's a man that I know (There is a man)
With no expression
He's got none at all
Yes, there's a man that I know (There is a man)
With no expression
He's got none at all
Well, some people are
Inbound with infatuation
And some others spell
Depression as the law
From one mother
Getting at no imagination
So beware then
Maybe sin is at your door
Yes, there's a man that I know (There is a man)
With no expression
He's got none at all
Yes, there's a man that I know (There is a man)
With no expression
He's got none at all
But you may never, never
See this man laughing
Come to think of it
I've never seen him cry
But he might be sitting
And you hear him singing
And by and by, he'll stop and sigh
Before his voice would even begin to speak
And he'd just cry
(Yeah)
Yes, there's a man that I know (There is a man)
With no expression (Darling)
He's got none at all
Yes, there's a man that I know (There is a man)
With no expression
He's got none at all
Have you ever, ever ridden horses (There is a man)
Through a rainstorm? (That I know)
Or a lion through a busy street bazaar (No expression, at all)
There are many things (There is a man)
I'd love to turn you on to (That I know)
But I somehow feel (No expression)
They're safer where they are (He's got none at all)
Yes, there's a man that I know (There is a man)
With no expression
He's got none at all
