Funny, how you've changed, it makes me wonder 
have I ever really known you
How could you abuse and use the kindness and tenderness 
that I have shown you

If I have known then I have shown the strength 
on which my love could make a stand
But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness 
for the weakness in your man

I can give you almost anything 
if I know what you're looking for
I can give you everything 
That any other man can give and more

He may promise you the world 
but I can give you everything he can
So don't mistake my tenderness 
for any sign of weakness in your man

I may live my life alone 
with walls of stone inside some lonely cell
But no man's gonna take the love I own 
and never live to tell the tale

So don't forsake the vows you made 
and don't remove my little golden band
And don't mistake my tenderness 
for any sign of weakness in your man

No, don't mistake my tenderness 
for any sign of weakness in your man...
