Lyrics for Who Am I

Who am I to make decisions And try to change, change your ways? Who am I to pretend that things are going good When they're getting worse every day? Who am I to say who's gonna take you out Where you're going, and what you should do? Who am I to sit right down, sit right down and cry? 'Cause I just can't stop, I can't stop loving you Who am I to take the time to answer, do you hear me? And who am I to take the time to care? Who am I to know that I love, love, love you so, yeah? And who am I to worry at all? Let me ask you one more time Who am I to say when you're wrong or right? Who am I to say who's gonna take you home at night? I'm your man, baby, that's who I am I'm, I'm just your man Do that mean something to you? All right, I'm just your man I'll be there beside you when the going gets tough And things get so rough When you can't find a friend nowhere, yeah When you drop your head and say "I'm sorry" I'll understand 'cause baby Let me tell you one more time I'm your man Hey, do you understand it when I take your hand? I'm your man I worry when you worry, and grieve when you grieve I've got, I've got to understand it And in you I'll always believe I understand 'cause I'm your man Can't you understand me, can't you understand me? Do you know what it means when you got someone to love you? Oh baby, oh baby, I'm your man Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh baby
