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 were 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 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 chased 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
