I don't wanna call you tonight
I'm afraid it'd be the wrong place
The wrong time
But I got a lot of things on my mind
I don't wanna be the man on the side
You say you love me but that don't make it right
You know that I love you too
Even though I can't be the only one for you
So if it's not too much to ask
Can you let me know if I'll ever be your man, yeah
Promise I'll do all I can to make it work
But if not
You're the best I'll never have
You're the best I'll never have
You're the best I'll never have
Oh yeah
I see all of your efforts
And baby, you're a star
Wish you would realize that I wanna be where you are
They tell me, "all you need is love"
And I've come to realize that's just a bluff
I can't even trust my own heart anymore
But if it's not too much to ask
Can you let me know if I'll ever be your man, yeah
Promise I'll do all I can to make it work
But if not
You're the best I'll never have
You're the best I'll never have
You're the best I'll never have
Oh yeah, yeah
As days go by, I've come to conclusion
It's nothing that I wanna hear
But I gotta be a man and face my fears
My feeling's growing
My heart's bigger than before but it ain't inflamed
I just wish you feel the same
I turn the page to a different day
I'm still searching for a love I already found
Cause I know you won't stay
Unsteady, my heart beats heavy
Due to your faith this sustains while my feelings rearrange
I can't help it and you won't let it
You say you wanna live in the moment
But moments turn into a past that I wish would last
Is this all really worth it
Livin' a lie, in the end the truth is dismissed
What we gettin' out of this
It's just temporary bliss, baby
We could make it last forever, maybe
I know it's tougher than it sounds but you gotta make up your mind
Cause you're playing with mine
If you don't choose me I can't be mad
Just be sure you're glad
Best believe I love you
You're the best I never had
So if it's not too much to ask
Can you let me know if I'll ever be your man
I promise I'll do all I can to make it work
But if not
You're the best I'll never have
You're the best I'll never have
You're the best I'll never have
The best, the best
I'll always love you, yeah
