Lyrics
How could she look so fine
Expressing wonder at how attractive she appears.
How could it be she might be mine
Questioning the possibility of having a romantic relationship with her.
How could she be so cool
Admiring her demeanor and composure.
I've been taken for a fool
Feeling deceived or misled in the past.
So many times
Experiencing being taken advantage of or fooled numerous times.
It's a story of a man
Describing the life story of a hardworking man.
Who works as hard as he can
Highlighting the dedication of a man striving for success.
Just to be a man
Asserting the desire to embody traditional masculinity.
Who stands on his own
Emphasizing independence and self-reliance.
But the book always burns
Suggesting recurring failure or disappointment despite efforts.
As the story takes it turn
Indicating repeated setbacks leading to personal breakdown.
An leaves a broken man
Expressing the aftermath of failure, resulting in emotional distress.
How could she be so cool
Reiterating admiration for her composed demeanor.
How could she be so fine
Continued appreciation for her attractiveness and finesse.
I owe a favor to a friend
Acknowledging a debt owed to a friend.
My friends they always come through for me- Yeah
Gratefulness for friends consistently offering support.
It's a story of a man
Recapitulating the story of a hardworking man.
Who works as hard as he can
Reemphasizing the relentless pursuit of success.
Just to be a man
Reasserting the desire to embody conventional masculinity.
Who stands on his own
Reiterating the importance of self-sufficiency.
But the book always burns
Describing the recurrent destruction of efforts and aspirations.
As the story takes it turn
Highlighting the cyclical nature of personal downfall.

I'd look right up at night
Describing a past state of feeling lost or in despair.
And all I'd see was darkness
Depicting a sense of emptiness or hopelessness.
Now I see the stars alright

Reflecting happiness experienced in a specific situation involving her.
