You put your heart up on a shelf
I know it’s hard to be by yourself
You need someone that’s tur and strong
Baby someone just came along
I am that man
You’re trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I’ll give you all my love
‘Til you understand
I won’t give up
‘Cause I know
I am
Talk is cheap, it ain’t worth a dime
So don’t talk to me, just five me some time
I’m gonna show you what love can be
My job won’t be done until you believe
I am that man
You’re trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I’ll give you all my love
‘Til you understand
I won’t give up
‘Cause I know
I am that man
You’re trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I’ll give you all my love
‘Til you understand
I won’t give up
‘Cause I know
I am that man
