Be Your Man lyrics

`down the corridor is the residence of sorrow
i`m creepin on the hardwood floor
i walk quiet on from where she lay sleepin
in the shadow of the pale moon
i leave a last tap on the crescent of her hip
my promise breath in her ear on another night
as i slip away
i wanted to be her man
i wanted to be her man
i`m waitin to be her man
yeah
i sent dispatches
well i`m a good lieutenant that way hey
from lonely stations i make and break promises
the explanations they contain
and i deliver these disappointments
with a sorrow that grows deeper and deadlier every day
yeah and i wanted to be her man
i wanted to be her man
i`m waitin to be her man
and i try and i try
i try to make it happen
it`s so hard pretending that it don`t even matter
understand now
come back she`s moving in different patterns
she`s responding to the constant strain
of fact, fiction, and promises
and to the harsh truths that they contain
so i take care, make less noise when i`m here now
so she won`t hear me on the hard wood
on the nights when i`ve gone away
yeah
i wanted to be her man
i wanted to be her man
i wanted to be her man
i`m tryin and tryin
and i gotta make it happen
it`s no good pretending that it don`t really matter
and good intending
let`s try and send it
and i wanted to be her man
and i`m waiting to be her man
and i wanted to be her man
and i`m tryin, tryin, tryin`
