I'm gonna take you by surprise And make you realize, I'm gonna tell you right away, I can't wait another day, I'm gonna say it like a man And make you understand I don't want to lose you Babe, tomorrow's so far away

Makes me feel like I'm a modern man In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand In my dream I was almost there But we're wasted And that's why we're still waiting So I wait my turn, I'm

All your lies You'd lose a heart in your hand And I can't believe you'd make me work for it Now I understand Why I run as fast as I can Why do I breathe With what's beating in my chest? You'd think I'd learn better now 'Cause I can't get any rest

Gonna make this a night to remember Get ready tonight Get ready, oh, baby, tonight When you love someone, it's natural, not demanding And that's one thing I'm proud to say I've found in you I'm so glad we've reached an understanding Now I know my heart

If you want another secret Can't back out, or make it You ain't ever gonna be it By takin' someone else's away Never take it for granted You don't have to understand it Here's to whatever puts a smile on your face Whatever makes you happy people Happy

'Cause you gave me nothing to hold on to And I tried You're not my baby You're not my baby, But you gave me nothing that I could hold on to I reached out for your hand But you threw it all away I'm gonna make you understand That you threw it all away

Never mind all the things you heard about me You're never gonna understand it Every time that I've given you the truth It's never made a bit of difference Disappointment takes you Then the doubt, it breaks you It's enough to make you cry Always looking

Take this life I'm right here Stay a while and breathe me in Make me understand the thought whatever Make me see Make me understand you're there for me
