story of a single man lyrics

I never thought iwould meet
suddenly she and me
a girl like Emily
with her ocean eyes and her crazy smile
were talking about all them dreams of walking down the aisle

and leave me all alone
Should have known she would go
how could i believe i was the only guy
i wish that i could have seen
what was right in front of me
it's true, love makes you blind

Chorus:
i thought we'd be in love for eternity
Emily was meant for me
had the upper hand
but the master plan
tell me how this story ends
in a story of a single man

Let me tell you about Sherilee
she brought me to my knees
cos physically she was the prototype
always looking so heavenly
but her personality was showing signs her head ain't right
she wouldn't stop calling me
she was popping up everywhere I would be
started stalking me
checking up on me every time I leave
it's a poisonous recipe
I know the only remedy is to make her just a memory

Sherilee was ment for me
Chorus:
I thought we'd be in love for eternity
had the upper hand
but the master plan
tell me how this story ends
in a story of a single man

I don't want another love gone wrong
my heart is saying no more
just another name withinthis song
I can't close the door
how will I ever know

Chorus:
if she's the one for sure
Who will be the one for me
someone i can love for eternity
I know I don't understand
but there's a master plan
in a story of a single man
tell me how this story ends
