Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you want a lover

I'll do anything you ask me to

[Verse 2]

And if you want another kind of love

I'll wear a mask for you

If you want a partner, take my hand, or

If want to strike me down in anger

[Verse 3]

Here I stand

I'm your man

If you want a boxer

I will step into the ring for you

And if you want a doctor

I'll examine every inch of you

If you want a driver, climb inside

Or if you want to take me for a ride

[Verse 4]

You know you can

I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright

The chain's too tight

The beast won't go to sleep

I've been running through

[Verse 5]

These promises to you

That I made and I could not keep

Ah, but a man never got a woman back

Not by beggin' on his knees

Or I'd crawl to you baby

And I'd fall at your feet

And I'd howl at your beauty

Like a dog in heat

And I'd claw at your heart

And I'd tear at your sheet

[Verse 6]

I'd say please (Please)

I'm your man

[Verse 7]

And if you've got to sleep

A moment on the road

I will steer for you

And if you want to work

The street alone

I'll disappear for you

If you want a father for your child

Or only want to walk with me awhile

Across the sands

[Verse 8]

I'm your man

If you want a lover

I'll do anything you ask me to

And if you want another kind of love

I'll wear a mask for you
