BE THE MAN (THAT'S MINE )

I would fight not to ever fall too deep 

Never sure that love would grow 

Now at night as I lay me down to sleep 

I could never let you go, no

And lying here with you 

I still can't believe it's true 

Never thought that I would ever

Find a love that lasts forever

Be the man that's mine 

Find the love that never goes away 

Be the heart I know will be 

The one that beats for me, be the man

Used to be scared if I would ever get this close

I'm not afraid to touch you now 

Long before I knew, I'd be making love to you

I dreamed that maybe I would one day 

Lose myself in someone, someday

Be the man that's mine 

I always try to find the love that never goes away

Be the heart I know will be 

The one that beats for me, be the man

Take me where I've never been, oh baby

I will follow you, you'll never be alone 

I will run, run to you, yeah (yeah)

I never thought that I would ever

Find a love that lasts forever

Be the man that's mine 

I always try to find the love that never goes away

Tell me we will always be together 

Make us stay in love this way forever 

Be the heart I know will be 

The one that beats for me 

Wherever you may be

Always be with me, be the man
