Just A Man

Copyright Tim Cole 2008. All rights reserved.

I'm just a man
But not any man
I am the man that
You're looking for

I'm not the same
As anyone else
And you are the one
That I adore

HOW COULD YOU
COULD YOU SAY ALL THOSE THINGS
TO TAKE THEM BACK
BACK AGAIN

HOW COULD YOU
COULD YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE
AND NOW YOU SAY
SAY WERE JUST FRIENDS

I'm just a man
And like any man
I feel pleasure
And I feel pain

I wear my heart
Right there on my sleeve
I can bleed
And I have a name

HOW COULD YOU
COULD YOU SAY ALL THOSE THINGS
TO TAKE THEM BACK
TAKE THEM BACK AGAIN

HOW COULD YOU
COULD YOU HAVE SAID THOSE THINGS
AFTER ALL I'VE DONE
AFTER ALL I'VE DONE

So now I don't know
Where I'm going next
And I don't know
Where I'm heading to
But I'll have you know
If you would have me back

I would gild your world
And I would keep you safe
I would hold you close
And I would be your mate
I would cherish you
And I will celebrate

Here I am your man

Relationships and their breakdown are just as hard on men as on women; we all hurt. The climax is from 3:40 onwards and "I would guild your world...".

“The lyrics are incredibly moving and the music sends chills down my spine for the emotion it packs... You might have song worthy of being a single”
