Because I am just a man

I still have feelings

I wanted to grow old together

To hold your hand forever

I wanted to be your lover

The focus of your lifelong plan

I failed because I am just a man.

Just a desire for someone to love

But with no special graces from above

A mortal being of flesh and blood

I could not finish what I began

Messed it up because I am just a man.

I messed it up, I got it wrong,

Had the right words, but the wrong song,

Was it me, or did you play a part?

Do I try again? Do I think I can?

I’ll probably stuff it up, because I am just a man.

Men have feelings, they have hearts too,

Why do women think it’s all about you

Some men are also sensitive and kind

We are not really that difficult to understand

Don’t write me off because I am just a man.
