The Man I Know You Are

You look at me
But you soon look away
To find you staring
Would make my day
But I'll never catch you
Because you are rational
You've thought this through.

And if you lingered a little too long
If you tried to tell me this wasn't wrong
Then you wouldn't be
The man I see
The one I want with me
The man I know you are.

You talk to me
But only for a while I long to be
The reason you smile
But I'll never make you happy
Because you deserve more
Than you could have with me.

And if you lingered a little too long
If you tried to tell me this wasn't wrong
Then you wouldn't be
The man I see
The one I want with me
The man I know you are.

You walk by me
But you don't see
The shiver I feel
Down my spine, through my body
But I'll never have you
To hold in my arms tonight
And you'll never love me too

And if you lingered a little too long
If you tried to tell me this wasn't wrong
Then you wouldn't be
The man I see
The one I want with me
The man I know you are.

If you gave in
Yielded to your desire
You wouldn't be the man I think you are
If you gave me
All of your fire
You wouldn't be the man I know you are.
