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
