Well I fumbled for a pencil   And my I'm so sorry pad   And I wrote until I sprained my stupid brain   And I know that there's a reason why I made this up so fast   I thought I'd never get a chance to say   What's on my mind, I'm never kind   When my vocabulary's secondary to a bottle of wine      But I promise I can love you   Just like a man   And I promise I can hold you   Like nobody can      I never knew the difference between bullshit and sincere   As long as it sounded good   While coming out   And I can't blame it on my father   He gave me my 1st beer   And he held my head back as I puked it out   What was I saying, there I go playing      The game I know so well   Talking about myself when it should be you      But I promise I can love you   Just like a man   And I promise I can hold you   Like nobody can
