They'll be no darkness tonight
Baby our love will shine (light in your love)
We've had our share of bad times
But now we're in paradise (loving each other right)
You're every wonder in this world to me
I'll never let my baby leave me

[Chorus]
Even though we've been through ups and downs
You know I'll always be around
Why did you do me that way
But I still love you baby
Why did you hurt me that way babe
'Cause you will always be the man in my life

Won't you lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we won't forget
Boy I need your sweet caress
So, let's forget about those other days

We'll make 'em all just fade away
And never ever let nobody come between us
I never want to lose your trust now

Baby babe even though that I'm a pretty young thang
You messed up and you did some wrong thangs
But I don't give a damn 'cause you will always be my man

[Chorus]
Even though we've been through ups and downs
You know I'll always be around
Why did you do me that way
But I still love you baby
Why did you hurt me that way babe
'Cause you will always be the man in my life

When you left I thought about so many things
And boy I never want to feel this way again
I got petrified and lost my self control
I don't ever want you to go nowhere

Don't ever want you to leave
Don't go nowhere (don't leave me baby)
Don't leave me babe (don't leave me baby)
Woah, oh, ooh

Ooh boy let me keep you warm
You are the man
Fill you with the sweetest love
Always the man

Lay back in my tenderness
You are the man
Rock me with your sweet caress
Always the man

[Chorus]
