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
