The originaly song of Blood, Sweat & Tears [1968]

if i ever leave you, baby
you can say i told you so
and if i ever hurt you
you know i hurt myself as well

is that any way for a man to carry on?
do you think i want my loved one gone?
said, i love you more than youll ever know
more than youll ever know

when i wasnt making much money
you know where my paycheck went
you know i brought it home to you, baby
and i never spent a red cent

is that any way for a man to carry on?
do you think i want my loved one gone?
said, i love you more than youll ever know
more than youll ever know

now listen to this
im not trying to be, just any kind of a man, no i aint
im just trying to be somebody,
you can love, [bad word] and understand

i know, i know, i know that i can be
a part of you that no one else can see, yeah
but i gotta hear you say, i got to hear you say
its allright

im only flesh and blood
but i could be anything that you demand
i could be king of everything
or just a tiny grain of sand, now tell me

is that any way for a man to carry on?
do you think i want my loved one gone?
love you more than youll ever know
i said, i love you, i love, i love you
dont want nobody else but you.
