Just a Man

Lord send me an angel

Not a victim or a soft sell

Lord send me an angel

And maybe only time will tell,

You’re looking for a deity

A man who will set you free

Man enough to rattle your tree

Weak enough to endure your fury,

I’m just a man not to be idolized

Made of flesh and sometimes compromised

Your dreams of perfection all crystallized

First you need to learn how to apologize,

But, I can’t be your savior

I know by your behavior,

I can cherish you but it’s not enough

Your bi-polar betrayal is way too rough,

You have to trust the man you stand alongside

You don’t stab him in the back with your foolish pride

Have enough respect to let the small things slide

Don’t allow the poisoned past to leak back inside,

I’m a man of blood sweat and tears

Yes, Darling, you have your fears

But, that’s no excuse to ruin the years

But it seems lovers never remain near.

Lord send me an angel

Not a victim or a soft sell

Lord send me an angel

And maybe only time will tell,

If you don’t expect too much

You might not be disappointed as such

You might even be able to appreciate my touch

So I can trust you to come through in the clutch.

I’m just a man of flesh and bone

Who doesn’t want to be alone

Bring your lips closer to the phone

Let us both venture into the unknown.
