I traveled around the world
A couple of years ago
When I was young and wild
And I needed time to grow

I met a fair young woman,
Whose face was like a song;
But the verses soon grew strained
And the magic quickly gone

Chorus
I know that I am twice the man
My father thought I’d be
I hope that I am half the man
You think that you can see

You seem to think I’m someone strong
And well upon the way
I pray that you’re not too far wrong
And love me anyway


Bridge
All that I know is that I want you
Here with me tonight
I know that this feeling is right
Tell me you love me and
Want me here with you
Say that you’re ready to
Feel a love that is true

I’m not a handsome gentleman
All polished and refined
But you’ll find that I’m a gentle man
With loving on my mind
