Like a leaf caught in the windHe drifted a whileWith no purpose or direction to his lifeHe tried to get himself togetherAnd pacify his mindAnd forget about the things he left behindThe cryin' womanStanding helpless in his doorWith a two month old baby-why in her armsHis little black book Laying torn up on the floorAnd God only knows he never meant to do her wrongA careless weekend on the other side of townHas torn the King of Oak Street's Castle downAnd all week long he's tried to ca-all herBut she won't let him explainNow Sunday morning finds him walking i-in the rainHe sits down in a phone booth and he praysThat she'll forgive him And she'll believe he's changed his waysWith shaking hand He deposits hi-is last dimeAnd he's still praying that she won't hang you-up this timeSongtexteThen the sweetest voice he's ever heard says helloBreakfast's a-almost ready baby-why, come on homeI've thought the whole thing over And I think I understandThat the King of Oak Street is just an ordinary manI-I've thought the whole thing over And I think I understandThat the King of Oak Street is just an ordinary man...
