She walked out cause she thought I'd never change I wasn't quite the type to rearrange She gave up on me ever coming round Well she sure would love the man that I am now She always wished I'd spend more time at home She begged me not to leave her there alone These nights I never leave the house She sure would love the man that I am now All she ever wanted of me was someone to love and hold her tight Wouldn't this brand new me surprise her holding her picture every night She used to say we really need to talk Well now I sit and talk to these four walls And when I do it's her we talk about And I know she'd love the man that I am now [ guitar ] All she wanted was to be part of my dreams Now every night she's part of them it seems I'd give the world if she could see somehow Just a little of the man that I am now I know she'd love the man that I am now
