It's a common misconception About a man's role in this world A provider and survivor and A winner who must never fail But oh how he needs a woman To rea**ure and give him strength Through the darkest nights And the hardest fights When there's no other corner left When the world outside is threatening And all his dreams have been destroyed Take him in your arms watch all his guards Melt like a little boy Tell him you really need him Tell him you really care Tell him you'll never leave him He'll be satisfied And he may not find it easy To say what's on his mind When he's full of doubt Say "we'll work it out" God knows how hard he's trying And he may never buy you roses And forget to notice your hair
But as long as he says "I love you my dear" That's all you need to hear Tell him you really need him Tell him you'll aways care Tell him you'll never leave him He'll be satisfied And they say the heart's a hunter But it's truth you can't deny He may never be everything you want But for you he'd lay down and die So Friday night when the phone rings And he's stuck in a downtown bar Roll away the stone Cause the last mile home Is the longest mile of them all Tell him you really need him Tell him you'll always care Tell him you'll never leave him He'll be satisfied Tell him you really want him Tell him you understand And tell him that you love him He'll be satisfied
