Well, High School got me educated,
Still went and graduated,
I didn't have a clue

Did a stint in the Navy,

They did their best to break me,
Somehow made it through,

I've had some hard knocks
I've been around the block
But baby I believe

That Lovin you made a man of me

Raisin' hell, racing cars,
Closin' down the local bars,
That's what I used to do

Family told me settle down,
Find yourself some solid ground,
Where you can put down some roots

Back then I thought love
Was only sissy stuff
Now I see that

That lovin you made a man of me
That lovin you made a man of me

I don't know what it is you do
But every time I'm holdin you
I know my heart is sworn
I'm the one you lean on
Got to be strong
It ain't just about me anymore

Well Goodbye to my blind immaturity
Lovin' you made a man of me
Made a man of me
Made a man of me

I'd still be only
Lost and lonely
As a boy can be
Can't you see

Lovin' you made a man of me
Lovin' you made a man of me
Made a man of me
Made a man of me
