Tonight I Wanna Be Your Man

Andy Griggs


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 wanna be your man 

It hit me just this morning 
When I passed you in the hall 
I swear I caught you looking 
Like you don't know me at all 
Let me show you who I am 
All week I've been your husband 
Tonight I wanna be your man 

I'll always be your cover when your cold 
When the world lines up against you 
I'm the safe place you can go 
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 
If the telephone starts ringing 
We'll pretend like we're not home 
Cause any fool would understand 
All week I've been your husband 
Tonight I wanna be your man 

Let me show you who I am 
All week I've been your husband 
Tonight I wanna your man 

Just forget about that wedding band 
All week I've been your husband 
Tonight I wanna be your man
