Bryan Adams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

it's 3 am - and i'm lying here next to you
what cha gonna do?
will you tell a story - when he asks you where the hell
you've been
or will you tell the truth?

i ain't holdin' back - i know where i stand
i just want to be with you
ya gotta face the fact - baby i'm your man
i've gotta get it through to you
i'm fearless

you don't have to hide - you don't have to share half your
life
with some other guy
baby we're so strong - and it's been goin on so long
it's time to make it right - want you to spend the night

i ain't holdin back - i know where i stand
i just want to be with you
ya gotta face the fact - baby i'm your man




i've gotta get it through to you
i'm fearless
