I saw a man about 50 or so, he looked lonely but his eyes were bright
He was walking up Holland Park Road and I stopped him to ask for a light
He practically froze when I spoke but eased when he saw my cigarette
Then I saw as he lit up my smoke beneath his coat he was naked and wet
{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 alone?"

I crossed the street to the local news store
And I flicked through some cheap magazines
alone?"
Ooh, how can you do it alone?
I need your help, so I can do it by myself.
Do it alone, don't have to breathe down the phone
I ain't got a clue 'bout the things that you do
But how can you do it alone?
