I know you're up at night
Cause I hear you walking
When you gently close the door
We should be talking
I want to get to you
(but baby once again)
I get to feeling useless
So I pretend
Chorus:
I've got to be a better man than that
I swear I'll listen and I won't talk back
I've got to hold you closer than I do
I've got to be a better man to you
I know you need my love
But it's so hard to show
What's in my heart I keep locked up
Can't let go
So hear me when I say
I'll always love you
I won't hold anything
Above you
I'm the kind of guy
As stubborn as can be
Keeps it all inside
I make you pull it out of me
