He Said Lyrics - Singles - Hippos

when I was just a young boy 

I loved to play with my toys 

and sit around and watch tv 

sometimes we'd go to the beach 

I loved to go to the beach 

until an old man came to me 

I said hey mister, why do you look so blue 

he said it's nothing you just 

look like someone I once new 

I said oh really as I looked into his eyes 

right then and there I knew this man would tell no lies 

he said 

I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories 

if you would just listen to me 

I've sailed across this ocean, given so much devotion 

but just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see 

we'd find a park with flowers 

we'd sit and talk for hours 

he taught me ancient history 

he said 

I used to be a great man 

I traveled across this great land 

until an old man came to me 

and said 

I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories 

if you would just listen to me 

I've been around the world 

been with all kinds of girls 

but just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see 

but now I am much older 

my life has grown much colder 

I only care about one thing 

how can I make more money 

life's empty without money 

and then a voice spoke out to me 

and said 

I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories 

if you would just listen to me 

I used to be a rich man 

money can ruin a good man 

just look what it has done to me 

no I'm, I'm not the same as I used to be...
