The Man You Need - Neil Diamond

I never did believe

That I would end up losing you this way

As far as I could see

The life we had was always gonna stay

And I tried to be

The man you need

I’ll never understand

What I expected out of loving you

The way we had it planned

There always could be

Room enough for two

To live and grow

How could I know

I wouldn’t be the man you need

And I wanna know why

Yeah, I wanna know how

Say I wanna know where

Everything went wrong

And I’m sorry, 'cause I love you

You told me more than once

I never understood my way around

The way that things worked out

I’m still not really sure

Of where I’m bound

You knew me well

I should have seen

I couldn’t be the man you need

And I reach for the sky

I reach for the stars

And all of the time

I was reaching for you

And I’m sorry, 'cause I love you

Say it now again

I’m holdin' on

I’ve only just begun

To learn the meaning of not having you

I thought for sure

That I would be the man

You need forever more

That I would be the man

You need forever more

I want to be the man

You need forever more
