Lyrics
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
If you want a partner, take my hand
Or if you wanna strike me down in anger
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 wanna take me for a ride
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 runnin' through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah, but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging 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
I'd say, "Please (please), I'm your man"
And if you've got to sleep a moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you wanna work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only wanna walk with me a while across the sand
I'm your man
If you want a lover
I'll do anything that you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
