leave before you love me

(Verse 1)
Fuck, man-child…
You hit it so damn good I almost whispered “I want you” (mmm)
Crazy and carefree,
Never thinking ’bout the day to come
You said that life is worth the living,
Only when you stop fearing the risks (ahh)

(Pre-chorus)
Your poetry that spills from you (baby, yeah)
Reminds me of myself, some years ago

(Chorus)
You are a man, nothing can change that (just a man, mmm)
A man like you can’t be tamed or chained (no, no)
You’re just a man, and all I can do is stand there (just a man)
A man that burns as fierce as you…
Is a man no one can save (no one, no one…)

(Verse 2)
You take me to places I’ve never been,
Show me how the stars are breathing (stars are breathing)
Telling me how sweet life can be,
When you stop thinking ’bout tomorrow
But baby, what will happen the day you leave me? (leave me)
Tell me, baby… what will happen when you go? (ohh)

(Pre-chorus)
Self-written poet, babe (mmm)
I’ll read your books the day you’re gone

(Chorus)
You are a man, nothing can change that (just a man, baby)
A man like you can’t be tamed or chained (oh no)
You’re just a man, and all I can do is stand there (stand there…)
A man that burns as fierce as you…
Is a man no one can save (no one, no one, no one)

(Post-chorus)
Just a man (ahh), a strong man (mmm)
My man for today (today, today…)
Tomorrow never came

(Bridge)
So what am I gonna do for a while? (what am I gonna do?)
When you tell me tomorrow has come
Time to think, time to stop…
The summers, the winters (winteeeers, mmm),
The drinks, the dances (ha-ha),
All the things that blurred our vision—
They come to an end (they come to an end, baby)

(Final Chorus)
You are just a man (just a man, ohhh)
And nothing can change that (no, no, no)
You’re just a man (just a man, baby),
And all I can do is stand there (stand there, mmm)
A man that burns as fierce as you…
Is a man no one can save (save, save, save…)

(Outro)
Just a man… (mmm)
Just my man… (ahh, baby)
