Baby light a couple candles Lock the bedroom door Put on some sweet soul music Throw a blanket on the floor Surrender to my patient hands All week I've been your husband Tonight I want to be your man It hit me just this morning When I passed you in the hall I swear I caught you lookin' Like you don't know me at all Let me show you who I am All week I've been your husband Tonight I want to be your man And I will always be your cover when you're cold And when the world lines up against you I'm the safe place you can go But now and then we need to find some time To be in love, just be in love Now the whole world's in bed sleeping I think we're finally alone And if the telephone starts ringing We'll pretend like we're not home 'Cause any fool would understand That all week I've been your husband Tonight I want to be your man So let me show you who I am All week I've been your husband Tonight I want to be your man Just forget about that wedding band All week I've been your husband Tonight I want to be your man
