It's a common misconception   about a man's role in this world   A provider and survivor and    a winner who must never fail   But oh how he needs a woman   to reassure and give him strength   through the darkest nights    and the hardest fights   when there's no other corner left   When the world outside is threatening   and all his dreams have been destroyed   take him in your arms watch all his guards    melt like a little boy      Tell him you really need him   Tell him you really care   Tell him you'll never leave him   He'll be satisfied      And he may not find it easy   to say what's on his mind   When he's full of doubt   say "we'll work it out"   God knows how hard he's trying   And he may never buy you roses   and forget to notice your hair   but as long as he says "I love you my dear"   that's all you need to hear      Tell him you really need him   Tell him you'll aways care   Tell him you'll never leave him   He'll be satisfied      And they say the heart's a hunter   but it's truth you can't deny   He may never be everything you want   but for you he'd lay down and die   So Friday night when the phone rings   and he's stuck in a downtown bar   roll away the stone   cause the last mile home   is the longest mile of them all      Tell him you really need him   Tell him you'll always care   Tell him you'll never leave him   He'll be satisfied   Tell him you really want him   Tell him you understand   and tell him that you love him   He'll be satisfied
