  • Lyrics By: Richard James
Isla where you been
Isla where you from
Feeling kind of low
Feeling kind of numb
I've been on the outs just losing my mind
I'm a bit hard to handle
I'm the traveling kind
Please don't walk away
Let's relax, unwind
I swear I can prove it to you I'm inclined

Just another girl
Out here on the run
Sweeter than a peach
Louder than a gun
Take it on the chin
Then I'll dish it again
I can hold my own like I'm dust in the wind
Real nice to meet you but I've got to move on
I'm the heart breaking kind pretty soon I'll be gone

Isla don't you know that I'm a fool
My closet's full of bones
I'm trying to play it cool
The light bulb might be burning dim
but I still bet I can
Before the night is done
I'll be your man

Pull up a seat and sit down for a few
I'd sure like to know what's the story with you
Blowing into town like a tumbling weed
Well you might not know it was just what I needed
Please don't make me beg and don't leave town
Just give me a shot, I won't let you down

Isla don't you know that I'm a fool
My closet's full of bones
I'm trying to play it cool
The light bulb might be burning dim
but I still bet I can
Before the night is done
I'll be your man

I'll stick around until you're leaving town
I'll be the one until the sun goes down
Don't leave me now
I'll prove to you somehow
It'd be a shame, if I don't have you around

Isla don't you know that I'm a fool
My closet's full of bones
I'm trying to play it cool
The light bulb might be burning dim
but I still bet I can
Before the night is done
I'll be your man

I'm a hard one to catch got to stick to my guns
I'm not looking for more than a little bit of fun
Take it or leave it or prove that I'm wrong
Its hard to describe me in life or in song
Make me forget all the problems I know
And you might have a chance if you just take it slow

Isla don't you know that I'm a fool
My closet's full of bones
I'm trying to play it cool
The light bulb might be burning dim
but I still bet I can
Before the night is done I'll be your man
Before the night is done I'll be your man
Before the night is done I'll be your man
Before the night is done I'll be your man
