Only A Man

I wanna be the road that carried you home. I wanna be your savior.
I wanna be ten times stronger than anyone else you know.
I wanna be your inspiration, your every dream come true.
I'm doing the best that I can,
But I'm only a man.

I wanna be rich. I wanna be cool. I wanna be clever.
I wanna be your fantasy, security and friend all rolled up in one.
I wanna be inside, outside, ringside, with you forever,
Just holding your hand.
But I'm only a man.

If I were the sun in the sky of your life
I'd shine down, baby, bright and clear.
If I were the ground beneath your feet
You'd fall down without any fear.
If I were the perfect man of your dreams
I'd carry you off to the promised land.
I'm doing the best that I can,
But I'm only a man.

If I could hold the world in the palm of my hand, I'd turn back time
So I could relive every moment we spent falling in love.
If I could take back the pain in your heart, I'd do it and then,
I'd make you love me again.
But I'm only a man.

If I were the sun in the sky of your life
I'd shine right down baby bright and clear
If I were the ground beneath your feet
You'd fall down without any fear.
If I were the perfect man of your dreams
I'd carry you off to the promised land
I'm doing the best that I can,
But I'm only a man.
I said I'm only a man.
I'm only a man.
I'm only a man.
I'm only a man.
Only a man.
Only a man.
Only a man.
