Lyrics
[Verse 1] When I die I hope to be - A better man than you thought I'd be It's been hard to make you see - What kind of man I'm trying to be (All I ask, for you to try - To understand what it means to me) [Chorus] It's not hard to understand why you - Get discouraged all the time I keep trying, not to worry, but I - Can't help feeling lost in you But I love you, want you...And I need you [Verse 2] Time goes by and you'll find - That we'll achieve, a love sublime When I die, I hope I'll be - The kind of man that you thought I'd be [Chorus] It's not hard to understand why you - Get discouraged all the time I keep trying not to worry, but I - Can't help feeling lost in you But I love you, want you...And I need you [Bridge] 'Cause I love you, and I want you - 'Cause I gotta, gotta have you 'Cause I, 'cause I need you - [Outro] When I die, I hope I'll be - The kind of man that you thought I'd be Be (The kind of man that you thought I'd...) Be (The kind of man that you thought I'd...) Be (The kind of man that you thought I'd...) Be (The kind of man that you thought I'd...)
