Funny how you've changed it makes me wonder have I ever really known you
How could you abuse and use the kindness and tenderness I've shown you
If I'd have known then I'd have shown the strength on which my love could make a stand
But you have mistaken tenderness and kindness for weakness in a man

I can give you almost anything if I knew what you're looking for
I can give you everything that any other man can give, and a little bit more
He may promise you the world, but I can give you anything he can
So don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man

[Interlude]

I may live my life alone with walls of stone inside some lonely cell
But no man is going to take the love I own, and ever live to tell the tale
So don't forsake the vows you made and don't you abuse my little golden band
And don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man

[Fades]
Don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man
Don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man
