It's taken so long - so long to be
Measure the man - I hoped I would be
I take a step forward - I take two steps back
I can't help but be bored - unless I'm on the attack
And attacking's alright
We were up on the hill - where the blueberries grow
With time to kill - I started to fall
And it got hard to breathe - And it got hard to relax
Hard to face yourself - when you're still busy looking back
And attacking's alright
My love please understand
My love please understand
We're alone in this world
Doing all we can
To find somebody
To love and to hold
With a good warm heart
Cause it's getting cold
Honey please
Try to understand
It's time to love your man
I met a blonde girl - she took me into her bed
I wanted her body - she wanted me dead
On a cool summer evening - I awoke from a dream
Scared of something that was - inside of me
My love please understand
Jessie, my love please understand
We're alone in this world
Every woman, every man
Trying to find somebody
To love and to hold
With a good warm heart
Cause it's getting cold
Honey please
Try to understand
It's time to love your man
