[Verse 1]
If you let me hold you I think you'd understand
My heart's burning for you in a way no others can
And I may not be perfect but if you'll call me your man
I promise that I'll do the best I can

[Verse 2]
When you say my name it feels like time is standing still
I never want to speed it up, I haven't got the will
Though he may get tickets when he's too quick
It's my heart that pays the bill
I think I'll just let time stand still

[Chorus X2]
I thought my heart it was well protected
Behind my ribs right where I had left it
But I should have known that twelve or so bones wouldn't be enough to hide my love

[Verse 3]
I know that I'm not perfect but if you'll call me your man
I promise that I'll do the best I can
