Tell me, baby How'd we get this way What’s in your eyes Are all the things that you won't say Oh now what am I to do When there's no reply And all that I'm left with is the pain
CHORUS: How can I take it like a man When I know that I'm losing you I've given everything I can Now, is there nothing more that I can do Just to keep me from losing you
Down on my knees How can I show you more Why is it so hard to see That what we have is worth fighting for Well, I could search all my life But I'd never find The kind of love that I have for you
CHORUS: How can I take it like a man When it comes down to losing you I've tried everything I can Now is there nothing more that I can do Cuz, I know it's worth it, baby
In my heart I can feel that you're afraid To let me know what's going on inside Well, I need to take you the rest of the way But you're letting go, giving in To all the fears you try to hide Oh, now what am I to do When those lonely nights Leave me so empty inside
CHORUS: How can I take it like a man When I know that I'm losing you And I'll never understand Why there's nothing more that I can do Cuz, there's no life living without you
