Half A Man

Song byAmerica
in AlbumHearts

Written by Dan Peek, ©1975

Found on Hearts.

I'm only half a man

When I'm not by your side

I try to make a plan

And I don't try to hide

So come on over closer to me

And everything will be just like it should be

Why don't you help me

Please don't stand on your pride

I feel so empty

Why don't you let me inside

So come on over closer to me

And everything will be just like it should be

You (you, you, you)

Set my soul on fire

You (you, you, you)

Fill me with desire

When ever I'm near you

I'm only half a man

When I'm not by your side

I try to make a plan

And I don't try to hide

So come on over closer to me

And everything will be just like it should be
