[Verse 1]
If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you
You know I hurt myself as well
[Verse 2]
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
[Verse 3]
When I wasn't makin' too much money
You know where my paycheck went
I brought it all home to you, baby
And I never spent one red cent, hey
[Verse 4]
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
[Verse 5]
Now listen to this
I'm not tryin' to be
Just any kind of man, no, I ain't
I'm just tryna be somebody
You can love, trust, and understand
I know, I know that I could be
A part of you no one else can see, yeah
But I got to hear you say
I got to hear you say
It's alright
[Verse 6]
I'm only flesh and blood
But I could be anything that you demand
I could be king of everything
Or just a tiny grain of sand
[Verse 7]
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said I love you, baby
More than you'll ever know
I said I love you
I love you
I love you
[Verse 8]
I don't want nobody else
I don't need nobody else
I just want you, baby, for myself
This is the reason why
'Cause I love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said I want you
I need you
Yeah, yeah
