You're just a child, ain't you? Don't know what you want So if you come round here, I'm gonna make it clear, I wanna be your man And now you're busy living, but we're from the same little town So I still drive past the places where I used to see, but you're not there now Oh, I just wanna be your man Oh, * my past, forget your plans Beautiful New York City, goddamn they always do But when you come back home, won't you come back along so I can be your man And they ask me, are you blind? The clouds are supposed to cut your line But it's a dream I want, and it's the dream I got that gets me through the night Oh, I just wanna be your man Oh, * my past, forget your plans Oh, I'll take as much as I can stand Oh, if you're my girl then I'm your man The things I've gained I can't recall until I've seen them where they fall But all my pain and bitterness might disappear with one last kiss And I want it from you Oh, I just wanna be your man Oh, * my past, forget your plans Oh, I'll take as much as I can stand Oh, if you're my girl then I'm your man Oh, * my past, forget your plans Oh, * my past, forget your plans
