I've had my eye on you
Ever since I don't know when
But you've never noticed me
'Cause you always had your eye on him

I've watched while he broke your heart
Time after time and again
But this time he'd better step aside
'Cause this is where I come in

Hold on, baby hold on
I'm bringin' you a heart that's true
I'm gonna pick it up where he left off
And finish what he started with you
You know you can't give a boy a real man's job
And expect him to see it through
I've got the love it takes
To finish what he started with you

He lit a spark in you
And turned around and walked away
Left you tryin' to fan the flames
Standing in the pouring rain

I'll build a raging fire
Involving my heart and soul
When you think it's as hot as it gets
I'm gonna shovel on a little more coal

Hold on, baby hold on
I'm bringin' you a heart that's true
I'm gonna pick it up where he left off
And finish what he started with you
You know you can't give a boy a real man's job
And expect him to see it through
I've got the love it takes
To finish what he started with you

I'll never be like him
I'll never cut and run
You deserve the kind of man
Who won't leave the work half done

You know you can't give a boy a real man's job
And expect him to see it through
I've got the love it takes
To finish what he started with you

I've got the love it takes
To finish what he started with you
