How Long Can a Man Be Strong

I've been a restless
For a long, long time
Tryin' to find a home
For heart of mine
The nights are lonely
And the days are long
It's hard to find a reason
To carry on

But all this searchin'
Is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin'
Again and again?

Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on
Without the love of a woman
To call his own?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong?

It's on every man's mind
To find that special girl
Some of them getta lucky
But I'm alone in this world

Still I know she's out there somewhere
So I'm gonna keep tryin'
Someday I'm gonna find her
It's just a matter of time

As long as I've been waiting
I know she's been waiting, too
Hold on a little longer
I'm all the way to you

Now ever since this world began
It takes a woman to make a man
Now I need someone
Don't you know I need someone?

Ooh

But all this searchin'
Is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin'
Again and again and again?

Yeah
Oh keep on waiting
Oh no
Yeah
