Funny how you've changed it makes me wonder have I ever really known you How could you abuse the kindness and all the tenderness that I've shown you If I'd have known then I'd have shown the strength On which my love could make a stand But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness for the weakness in a 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 maybe more He may of promised you the world but I can give you anything 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 prison cell But no man's gonna take the love I own and ever live to tell a tale So don't forsake the love we knew cause now you know exactly where I stand And don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man No my display of tenderness is no sign of weakness in your man
