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 I 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 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 for
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 that Lovin' you made a man of me Lovin' you made a man of me Made a man of me Made a man of me
