This isn't goodbye Even as I watch you leave This isn't goodbye I swear I won't cry Even as tears fill my eyes I swear I won't cry Any other girl I let you walk away Any other girl I'm sure I'll be okay Tell me what makes a man want to give you all his heart Smile when you're around and cry when you're apart If you know what makes a man want to love you the way I do Girl you gotta let me know so I can get over you What makes us so right Is it the sound of the laugh That look in her eyes When do you decide She is the dream that you see That falls in your life And you apologize no matter who was wrong Would you get on your knees if that would bring her home Tell me what makes a man want to give you all his heart Smile when you're around and cry when you're apart If you know what makes a man want to love you the way I do Girl you gotta let me know so I can get over you Other girls that come along they always knew But what's the point when all I ever want is you Tell me Tell me what makes a man want to give you all his heart Smile when you're around and cry when you're apart If you know what makes a man want to love you the way I do Girl you gotta let me know, let me know, so I can get over you
