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
