(Jerry Chesnut)

Funny how you've changed it makes me wonder have I ever really known you
How could you abuse the kindness and all the tenderness that I've shown you
If I have known then I have shown the strenght
On which my love could make a stand
But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness for the weakness in a man.

I can give you almost anything if I know what you're looking for
I can give you everything that any other man can maybe more
He may promise you the world but I can give you anything he can
So don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man.

I may live my life alone with walls of stone inside some prison cell
But no man's gonna take the love I own and never live to tell a tale
So don't forsake the love we knew cause now you know exactly where I stand
And don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man.

No don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man...
