If I could never be the one
to make you smile like you say he may have done
Then why do you always seem to run
to me?
If I could never take his place
to bring that smile you lost back to your face
Then why do you always seem to race
here to me?
Maybe it’s just something that I’ll never understand
Maybe it’s your mystery that makes me give a damn
All that I can offer is to try the best I can
After all, I’m only one more man
who loves you.
If I could never be enough
to help you through when the times start getting tough
Then why do you always seem to need me
to back your your bluff?
If I could never understand
just what it takes to be your lover man
Then why do you always seem to stand
so close to me?
When you call me, what are you expecting me to say?
I will be your shoulder when you cry.
When you hold me close and whisper “what is there to do?”
What is it you want me to reply?
Maybe it’s just something that I’ll never understand
Maybe it’s your mystery that makes me give a damn
All that I can do for you is try the best I can
but after all, I’m only one more man
who loves you.
Just another hopeless, foolish man
who loves you.
