I could be...

Pardon me
I'm not trying to read your mind

I saw it in your dream
You said it in your sleep
You wrote it in your diary
I read it in your love notes

Even though you may hide it
There is no denying it

Even though you may cover it
There is no doubt about it

You dream of men as I do

I'm not trying to read your mind
I saw it in your dream
You said it in your sleep
You wrote it in your diary
I read it in your love notes

You dream of a man who can love you
Not control you and take advantage of you

You dream of a man who can make love to you
Not use you and have sex with you

You dream of a real man
Not a liar and a player

But baby boy, why won't you listen
Baby boy, why won't you see

I could be that man
Let me be that man

Even though you may hide it
There is no denying it

Even though you may cover it
There is no doubt about it

You dream of men as I do

I could be your shelter when it storms
I could be your warmth when its winter
I could be your comfort when its hard
I could be your strength when you're weak

I could be there in the good times and the bad
I could love you for you
I could take care of you for real

But baby boy, why won't you listen
Baby boy, why won't you see

I saw it in your dream
You said it in your sleep
You wrote it in your diary
I read it in your love notes

You dream of men as I do

I could be that man
Let me be that man
