Be A Man

(album: Thunder & Roses - 2001)

So you think you got it figured out
What a woman desires most
The house, the car, the ring, the bank account
Sense of security, you ain't even close
You're talking about the icing on the cake
You've gotta live up to the love you make
If you want to know what it really takes

You better be true to me
Don't fool with me
Don't stray from me
Don't play with me
Turn away when you're tempted to
And don't lie to me
Do right by me
Stand beside me
When you're feeling weak
Think about your woman and think again
Be a man

Baby I'll give you everything I am
I'll go as far as your wildest dreams
But before you take me, take my hand
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Someone who'll love you for all that it's worth
Someone who'll give you a little heaven on earth
And all I'm asking baby in return is

You better be true to me
Don't fool with me
Don't stray from me
Don't play with me
Turn away when you're tempted to
And don't lie to me
Do right by me
Stand beside me
When you're feeling weak
Think about your woman and think again
Be a man

I don't expect a man
To get down on his knees
And worship me
But it would be so sweet
If I meant so much to somebody
That he would always be

Be true to me
Don't fool with me
Don't stray from me
Don't play with me
Turn away when you're tempted to
And don't lie to me
Do right by me
Stand beside me
When you're feeling weak
Think about your woman and think again
Be a man
