The world is quiet,
like there is no one around,
but I feel you beside me
I know the secrets,
you keep locked away inside
Don't understand why you're fighting

I know she must be special,
this new girl by your side
I seek for answers when I look into your eyes,
And it hurts like [bad word] but, I will be strong

For once in your life, be a man
Just tell me the words, 'cause I know that you can
Don't leave me with scars that no one can heal
For once in your life - be a man

You made me love you,
love you right from the start
You're controlling my heart, babe
Don't pack your bags yet
Give me time to say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Just don't leave me wounded

No, I just hope you will regret the things you [bad word] back to me,
'cause our love is the real thing
And it hurts like [bad word]  but I will be strong..

For once in your life, be a man
Just tell me the words, 'cause I know that you can
Don't leave me with scars that no one can heal
For once in your life - be a man

I knew that I,
I fought to keep our love strong
If you leave me now,
you [bad word] back for more, babe
And I hope for, and I wish for,
and I pray, that the words from your mouth can,
eventually make you a man...

For once in your life,
be a man...
When everything stops - 

for a minute in your life,
I'll hope that,
for once in your life, be a man
(be a man)
Just tell me the words, 'cause I know that you can,
Don't leave me with scars,
that no one can heal

For once in your life - be a man
Be a man...
Tell me the words...

Once in your life...
Be a man...
Tell me the words...
