I was caught by the meadow wasted
Then I hasted into the brush
It was the strangest situation
I saw a nation in a rush
They beat me up, my body was naked
I didn't know but I was unashamed
Before I could wonder to much about it
I sat down and changed my name
So bring me your love tenderly
And hold out your arms right for me
For I am as good as can be
If you'd bring me your love tonight
They'd tell you it wasn't right
So how come you never even tried
I would call myself the mystery man
But none of them would ask me why
They just called me anything I liked
I don't believe they have been polite
I let them punch me into my face
But quite frankly that didn't feel right
So I ask what kind of love can this be
That goes from bad to worse but never dies
So bring me your love tenderly
And hold out your arms right for me
For I am as good as can be
If you'd bring me your love tonight
I'd tell you it wasn't right
So how come that you never tried
