You finally got the courage
To tell her how you feel
You showed her your heart
You told her it was real

But some other guy
Already whispered in her ear
And you know he told her
The things she wanted to hear

Now she has a story to tell
About how a night always must end
And while she will see the sun
She’ll never see him again

Tell her the things she wants to hear
But tell her while you draw her near
When she wakes with that same old fear
She’ll see that you’re still here  

She knows there’s a force inside
That tells you what to say
But when you fall asleep
She worries about another day

A man will say anything
To get love in the night
But a love will do anything
To try to make it right

Tell her the things she wants to hear
But tell her while you draw her near
When she wakes with that same old fear
She’ll see that you’re still here
