I saw a man about 50 or so, he looked lonely but his eyes were
bright
D Cadd9/D
He was walking up Holland Park Road and I stopped him to ask for a
light
D Cadd9/D
He practically froze when I spoke but eased when he saw my
cigarette
D Cadd9/D
Then I saw as he lit up my smoke beneath his coat he was naked and
wet
[chorus]
Dm D7/C
With eyes full of shame for he knew that I knew
G/B G/C
He slumped to the wall with a moan
C G C G
I said, "I know there's no name for what you go through
Asus4 A
But how how can you do it alone?"

I crossed the street to the local news store
And I flicked through some cheap magazines
Beside me some school kid I saw
Stuffed some girlie mags down into his jeans
The shop girl was watching amazed, she asked me to call for the
police.
She screamed at his blushing young face and he escaped into the
streets
[repeat chorus]
With eyes full of shame for he knew that I knew
He slumped to the wall with a moan
I said, "I know there's no name for what you go through
But how, how can you do it
Eb
alone?"
Bb F C
Ooh, how can you do it alone?
Eb Bb C G
I need your help, so I can do it by myself.
Eb Bb C G
Do it alone, don't have to breathe down the phone
Eb C Dm7 G
I ain't got a clue 'bout the things that you do
Asus4 A
But how can you do it alone?

How can you do it? How can you do it?
Back at the flat my girl sat in the shower
And wasn't too keen on me sharing
She came out well after an hour and by that time I was past
caring
Some women it seems have the knack
Of attaining the stars in their dreams
They simply relax and lay back while people like us scratch our
jeans
[repeat chorus]
With eyes full of shame and I know it must show
I slump and I fall and I groan
Will somebody explain what I need to know
How... How can you do it alone?
How can you do it? Do it alone...
How can you do it without any help?
How can you do it all by yourself?
