I am just a friend, I am just a friend.
Your passions laid captive to the mercy of these men,
I am just a friend, I am just a friend.
Condemnation, frustration, and a crude revelation,
emotions are bruised.
Your heart is spent.
Love is everything, I am just a friend, I am just a friend.
Lay down your walls, they don't mean a thing,
keep on shining baby, now's your chance to sing.
I'm a few years older, but a couple years shy.
I am just a man, I am just a man.
My eyes are so hungry, I'm never satisfied,
I am just a man, I am just a man.
Gratification, temptation, righteous indignation,
my eyes are so weak and your skin is so strong.
Scoundrel, trapped by my device,
I am just a man, I am just a man.
I don't want to hold you in jezebel eyes...
Now I've made some promises that have never come to pass,
I am just a man, I am just a man.
I will love you this night, you can keep your shirt on,
I am just a man, I am just a man.
Revelation, elation, a beauty fixation,
drunk with passion, I'll try to resist.
Love is everything, I am just a man, I am just a man.
Men will come and men will go,
with the eyes they'll steal your clothes,
still,
I'll be there.
The eyes of God have drawn your face,
I could never take His place,
still,
I'll be there.
