When you drove me to the airport And you kiss me goodbye I had to smile through my tears At the tears in your eyes I was just leaving you for a week But you held me so tight When you called me long distance To make sure i'd arrived You said the house felt so empty And you apologized For being weak, can't you see That's when you're a man to me Chorus When you show your tender side When your heart is open wide When you put your world on hold and stop to listen to my needs When you really let it show that i'm a part of all your dreams That's when you're a man to me Verse 2 The strength to your arms Thrills me so much But you make the world move With the softness of your touch And the love that you give me Will always be enough You've got nothing to prove You've got nothing to hide You impress me the most When you don't even try When your feelings shine through That's when you're a man to me Chorus When you put your world on hold And stop to listen to my needs When you really let it show that I'm a part of all your dreams That's when you're a man to me
