Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I ever leave you, baby
You can say I told you so
And if 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?
I love you more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
[Verse 3]
When I wasn't making much money
You know where my paycheck went
I brought it home to you, baby
And I never spent a red cent, hey
[Verse 4]
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
I love you more than you'll ever know
Yeah, and more, more than you'll ever know
[Verse 5]
Now listen to this
I'm not trying to be
Just any kind of man, no, I ain't, no, I ain't, no
I'm just wanna be somebody
You can love, trust, and understand
[Verse 6]
I know, I know, I know that I can be
A part of you that no one can see, yeah, yeah
But I gotta hear you say, I wanna hear you say
It's alright
[Verse 7]
I'm only flesh and blood
But I'll be anything that you demand
I could be king of everything
Or just a tiny grain of sand, ay, ooh
[Verse 8]
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you, I love you, yes, I do, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want nobody else, mmm, I don't need nobody else, no, now
All I wanted you to love and oh, oh
I don't want nobody else, no
And I don't need nobody else, no
I just love, and I just love, I just love you
