I'm The Man For You
Luke Wade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't ask for recognition but I recognize
Candle in the corner, in this city of light
In your little New York apartment
No one sees you burning bright
But I do, yes, I do
'Cause I'm the man for you
I'm the man for you
I'm never out of sugar
I just want some of yours
It's hard and getting harder
Just walking past your door
And when I heard you sing Aretha
Through our walls that night
Well I knew, yea I knew
That I'm the man for you

You're already shining
But let me lift you up when you're not
Everything you thought you'd be
You're more than enough for me
I just wish that you knew
That I'm the man for you
I'm the man for you

Don't ask for recognition
But this word of mouth
Got everybody wondering just
What you're about
But no one wants to hold you
When you feel your light is burning out
Like I do, yes
And I do
'Cause I'm the man for you

You're already shining
But let me lift you up when you're not
Everything you thought you'd be
You're more than enough for me
I just wish that you knew
That I'm the man
I'm the man
I'm the man for you
I'm the man for you




I'm the man for you
I'm the man for you
