I hear him before I go to sleep

And focus on the day that's been

I realize he's there

When I turn the light off and turn over

Nobody knows about my man

They think he's lost on some horizon

But suddenly I find myself

Listening to a man I've never known before

Telling me about the sea

All his love 'til eternity

He's so very understanding

And he's so aware of all my situations

And when I stay up late

He's always waiting but I feel him hesitate

Oh, I'm so worried about my man

They say, no, no, no, no, no, it won't last forever

But here I am again, my girl

Wondering what I'm doing here

Maybe he doesn't really love me

I just took a trip

Oh, he's knocking at my front door

And he's breaking my heart

But I love him, yes, I do

Just a man, just a man

He's trying to do the best he can

And he's trying, trying to be a man, y'all

He's a child, child, child, child
