I spent all my money trying to look stable Bought you a diamond before I was able But a man's got to gamble if he wants to look proud My luck is my luck and I guess it ran out My stories and secrets, I saw how they scared you The places I've been that you never dared to Well a man ain't ashamed of the things that he's done My past is my past that's where I came from What kind of love do you want from a man My love is my love It's all that I have I told you my plans but you just weren't ready You said that my words, they made you feel heavy A man's got to speak without being asked My words are my words and I can't take them back What kind of love do you want from a man My love is my love It's all that I have You said all you wanted was someone to chase you But you shrank in my arms each time I'd embrace you Well a man's got to try before he can quit My pride is my pride and I'd risk it again What kind of love do you want from a man My love is my love And it's all that I have What kind of love do you want from a man My love is my love And it's all that I have My love is my love And it's all that I have
