Then by the grace of God
Swear that you'll be the man
When he nodded from his table
Till all her tears are dry
Hold her gently
Yes and then you'll lose her too
Is when you've made your lady cry
She'll let you lay there by her side
Till all her tears are dry
I said, I know just how things are
And hold her gently
And for years she's paid the price
And you always say you'll only stay
You better run to her and fall on your knees
You're scared one day you'll lose your temper
Oh, they say that love is brutal
'Cause the only time I see you
Till all her tears are dry
Now for months I've watched you wrestle
With that other side of you
It might be too late, you best not wait
She's wanted you to be
