[Verse 1]
What's a man without all the attention?
Well, he's just a man
And, why do you fear that no one will hear what you've got to say?
Who am I without all your affection?
I'm a nobody too
I'm not above being unloved if that how I've got to pay

[Chorus]
And you can tell everyone, everyone
I've got your number, son
Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on too
Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on you

[Verse 2]
I don't want to spend night after night with you
While you figure it out
While you're getting restless, I'm getting restless looking at you
I don't want to be your rock in hard times
Cause I've figured you out
And you're a man who can understand anyone but you

[Chorus]
And you can tell everyone, everyone
I've got your number, son
Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on too
Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on you
[Bridge]
Would I sacrifice myself
At the altar of someone else's love for me?
No, that doesn't comfort me

You think you can creep in the shadows
While you figure it out
I've listened to enough of all of your stuff to fill
A book or two

[Chorus]
And you can tell everyone, everyone
I've got your number, son
Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on too
Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on you

[Outro]
Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on you
