Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you Maybe I'm amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time And hung me on a line Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you Maybe I'm a man and maybe I'm a lonely man Who's in the middle of something That he doesn't really understand Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman Who could ever help me Baby won't you help me understand Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song Right me when I'm wrong Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
