I’ve tried to keep my shield up when trying not to let someone in I’ve learnt to hide away and close this heart of mine I’ve turned my back on loving and travelled light shed my skin I’ve fought to hold the line so darlin’ how’d you break through my defences how’d I chance this and let you in?
so tell me if you want me come and hold me if I’m your man I thought I met you in a dream you were shining like a beauty queen although I might’ve stained your dress while slowly we danced then I said too much about how I feel said I’ve fallen right head over heels but darlin’ I don’t mind I don’t want you to reply yet I’ll give you time to warm to my advances take my hands yes and I’ll let you in and tell me if you want me come and hold me if I’m your man If you say you would stay tonight I’ll hold you tight to me I’ve tried my best to keep my head from feeling doubt
and not try to get hopes down on these long summer nights and do these stars shining from above all point to unrequited love? alone I’m lying here knowing I could wind up sore and sorry but I’ll take my chances take my hands yes I’ll let you in so tell me if you want me come and hold me if I’m your man.
