I Can Only Love You Like A Man

From the time you were a baby

You had this notion in your head

And someone would come along and sweep you off your feet

Like in all those storybooks you read

Well if you're lookin' for salvation

Like some damsel in distress

Girl there ain't no heroes on white horses

At least I ain't seen 'em yet

There ain't no knights in shinin' armor

There ain't no never, never land

And I won't ever walk on water

I can only love you like a man

Now Heaven knows I'm no angel

Just flesh and bone like all the rest

I never claimed to have a halo

All I can give you is my best

But I will never try to hurt you

Or even give you cause to doubt

That my heart is yours forever

Ain't that what true love's all about

There ain't no knights in shinin' armor

There ain't no never, never land

And I won't ever walk on water

I can only love you like a man

No, I won't ever walk on water, no

I can only love you like a man
