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
