The world is quiet
Like there's no one around
But I feel you beside me
I know the secrets
You keep locked away inside
Don't understand why you're fighting
I know she must be special
This new girl by your side
I seek the answers when I look into your eyes
And it hurts like hell but I will be strong
For once in your life, be a man
Just tell me the words
'Cause I know that you can
Don't leave me with scars
That no one can heal
For once in your life, be a man
You made me love you
Love you right from the start
You're controlling my heart, babe
Don't pack your bags yet
Give me time to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Just don't leave me wounded, no
I just hope you will regret the things you do
Come back to me
'Cause our love is the real thing
And it hurts like hell but I will be strong
For once in your life, be a man
Just tell me the words
'Cause I know that you can
(I know that you can) Don't leave me with scars
That no one can heal
For once in your life, be a man
I knew that I, I fought to keep our love strong
If you leave me now
You come running back for more, babe
And I hope for, and I wish for, and I pray
That the words from your mouth can
Eventually make you a man
For once in your life, be a man
When everything stops
For a minute in your life
I'll hope that
For once in your life, be a man (be a man)
Just tell me the words
'Cause I know that you can
(I know that you can) Don't leave me with scars
That no one can heal
For once in your life, be a man
Be a man, tell me the words
Once in your life
Be a man, tell me the words
