[Verse]

             
Sometimes its

Giving all you

And he'll have

 good times
             
Doing things t

              
hat you don't 

     
understand

             
But if you lov

              
e him you'll f

  
orgive him

            
Even though he

            
's hard to und

  
erstand

And if you lov

e him
             
Oh be proud of

 
 him
           
Cause after al

              
l he's just a 

          
man

warm to come t

When nights ar

  
e cold and lon
