The Only Thing.

I am a decent man,
With an innocent mind,
I keep my hands to myself,
I keep myself in line,
But let me have a bad, bad day,
I swear, I'd try to steal you away,

'Cos I do love you,
Deep down in my soul,
And I so want you,
More than you could know,
And I know I can be,
All that you need,
And the only thing that saves you... from me,
Is me,

You're a pretty girl,
With a sexy way,
You keep your world to yourself,
You keep yourself at bay,
But dare you have a bad, bad day,
I swear, I'd try to steal you away,

'Cos I do love you,
Deep down in my soul,
And I so want you,
More than you could know,
And I know I can be,
All that you need,
And the only thing that saves you... from me,
Is me,

I truly wish... sometimes,
I didn't give a damn,
I sit and watch you struggle,
With a lesser man,
Waiting for resistance to win,
O', this decency is doin' me in,

O', 'cos I do love you,
More than you could know,
And I so want you,
Deep down in my soul,
And I know I can be,
Everything that you need,

And the only thing that saves you,
O', the very thing that craves you,
Yeah, the only thing that saves you,
Is me... and my decency,

I am a decent man... damn.
