Not the Man Words and music by Lynn Gold © 2000[Intro: G/ Em/ Am/ D/ C/// D/ / /] G Em Am D Got a call from my old boyfriend the other day G Em Am D Hadn't heard from him in quite a while G Em Am D We spent a couple hours catching up on things C D And I thought about how much I yearned to see his smile G Em Am D We talked and reminisced about the good old times G Em Am D And how much we'd like them once again G Em Am D He asked me if I thought I had an open mind C D And he told me he was glad that I was still his friend Am We were both unattached so we decided to meet Bm Em At a restaurant where he liked to go C Em Am Then he warned me that a lot of things about him have changed C D That I really, really, really, really ought to know He's not the man that he used to be He's nothing like his former self He's not the man that he used to be C D He's made a bunch of changes that have altered his health G Em Am D He's got a new bod, a new physique G Em Am D He's grown his hair an inch or two G Em Am D He's not the man that he used to be C D And he says that he is nothing like the guy I once knew G Ei Am D So I went out to the restaurant to meet my date G Em Am D I was there before I had to be G Em Am D 'Cause I wasn't sure if I remembered where it was C D But the place was where he said it was when he spoke to me G Em Am D As I sat I tried to look as if I didn't care G Em Am D And I waited for my guy to show G Em Am D I looked around to see if someone looked like him C D Kind of glancing at the random strangers come and go C Em Am Eventually I had to use the ladies room Bm Em So I went and did what I had to do C Em Am As I washed my hands, a tenor voice rang out from behind C D And I realized the woman there was you-know-who G Em Am D He's not the man that he used to be G Em Am D He's nothing like his former self G Em Am D He's not the man that he used to be C D He's made a bunch of changes that have altered his health G Em Am D He's got a new bod, a new physique G Em Am D He's grown his hair an inch or two G Em Am D He's not the man that he used to be C D And he's definitely nothing like the guy I once knew G Em Am D He had on designer clothing on a woman's bod G Em Am D That showed off his - her designer waist G Em Am D The feet had matching pumps with high stiletto inch heels C D I remembered that he always had impeccable taste G Em Am D Then we went to our table and we wined and dined G Em Am D And I acted like I didn't care G Em Am D I noticed half the people in the restaurant C D Were all sneaking glances at us trying not to stare C Am It seems my romantic lunch was not at all Bm Em The way that I had hoped it would be C Em Am Cause whenever we go out somewhere my luck's always bad C D All the guys hit on her instead of hitting on me! G Em Am D She's not the man that she used to be G Em Am D She's nothing like her former self G Em Am D She's not the man that she used to be C D She's made a bunch of changes that have altered her health G Em Am D She's got a new bod, a new physique G Em Am D She's grown her hair an inch or two G Em Am D She's not the man that she used to be C D And she's definitely nothing like the guy I once knew
