[Verse 1]
Am I the kind of man that lives by his heart
Who believes in God almighty not fearin' the devil or the dark
Always there when you need me to be
Hold your hand, say I love you in those hours of need
Wish you could close your eyes
Truthfully one day and say them things to me

[Verse 2]
Am I the kind of man that thinks he is strong
To stand up in a crowd and admit when he's wrong
When you're in trouble to no one else you'll ever plead
Knock on my door, say honey you're the man I needed to see
Wish you could close your eyes
Truthfully one day and say these things to me

[Bridge]
I know I ain't been much but I'm tryin'
Things have been rough lately, I'm not denyin'
But I'm gonna try somehow to be a better man
'Cause my heart and soul is tryin' as hard as it can

[Piano, Flute, and Guitar Solos]

[Verse 3]
Am I the kind of man who believes in peace
Who'll stand up and fight in a minute
Over something that he believes
Loves all his brothers, treats his elders with respect
Never heard me say that I don't give a damn, what the hell, who gives a heck
Wish you could close your eyes
And truthfully one day say them things to me
[Outro]
'Cause you're the only woman alive
That can make that kind of man out of me
