Lyrics:
I said: "It would never work"\\nYou said: "Let us try"\\nI said: "I'm a travelling man who will only make you cry"\\nAnd when the feeling hit me and I had to move along\\nYou said: "You were right, I guess, you must sing your song"\\n\nAnd a man is born to do one thing and I was born to sing\\nAnd I must take the good times and the bad times that it brings\\nAnd I missed you in the morning, but most of all at night\\nAnd I couldn't stop the music, though I tried with all my might\\n\nI lie in bed and watch the shadows moving on the wall\\nAnd the loneliness is killing me, so I turn the radio on\\nAnd I need you now, I want you, in the slow morning light\\nAnd the music makes it easier, but it doesn't make it right\\n\nAnd a man is born to do one thing and I was born to sing\\nAnd I must take the good times and the bad times that it brings\\nAnd I missed you in the morning but most of all at night\\nAnd I couldn't stop the music, though I tried with all my might\\n\nSome day, I hope, you will understand why I live this way\\nSongs keep moving in my head, this music I must play\\nSo I pack my bags and once again I get out on the road\\nAnother day, maybe tonight, I might catch my soul\\n\nAnd a man is born to do one thing and I was born to sing\\nAnd I must take the good times and the bad times that it brings\\nAnd I missed you in the morning, oh, but most of all at night\\nAnd I couldn't stop the music, though I tried with all my might\\n\nAnd a man is born to do one thing and I was born to sing\\nAnd I must take the good times and the bad times that it brings\\nAnd I missed you in the morning, oh, but most of all at night\\nAnd I couldn't stop the music\\n(Couldn't stop the music)\\nNo, I couldn't stop the music\\nBecause I...\\nHey, I was born...\\nBorn to sing\\nBorn to sing\\nBorn to sing\\nBorn to sing
