Could it be that I'm wasting my time?
 Could it be that it's you?
 Do you think that I'm way out of life
 But what can I do?
 It seems I've waited all my life for you
 But nobody listens to me
 Nobody seems to see

 It's hard to understand
 It's hard to be a man
 It's hard to work you out
 When all you do is shout about it
 I've tried my best, not good enough
 My life is inside out
 It's hard to understand
 It's hard to be a man
 To be your man

 So you think that I'm losing my touch
 You think that it's you
 Do you think that I'm wasting our love?
 Are you feeling it too?
 It seems I've waited all my life for you
 And nobody listens to me
 Nobody seems to see

 It's hard to understand
 It's hard to be a man
 It's hard to work you out
 When all you do is shout about it
 I've tried my best, it ain't good enough
 My life is inside out
 It's hard to understand
 It's hard to be a man
 To be your man

 Could it be that you're caught in my bluff
 You're stearring off into not saying much
 And so it's heating me up
 To tell, to tell you

 It's hard to understand
 It's hard to be a man
 It's hard to work you out
 When all you do is shout about it
 I've tried my best, but good enough
 My life is inside out
 It's hard to understand
 It's hard to be a man
 To be your man

 To be your man
 To be a man
 So hard to be a man
