| I tried to be the perfect soldier
|
| I tried to be what everyone said was expected
|
| Somehow I was selected
|
| Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true
|
| But deep inside of my heart I knew
|
| That I lacked the will
|
| I just couldn’t shoot to kill
|
| And still she treats me like a human
|
| She says she’ll still be there
|
| I may not be a hero, but I’ll be there
|
| Because I know she cares
|
| I worked hard to be the greatest lover
|
| I wanted to be sure that I was her only one
|
| That’s how I thought it was done
|
| But I went too far, assumed too much
|
| The need to feel a younger one’s touch
|
| Seemed important then
|
| Oh what a fool I’ve been
|
| And still she treats me like a human (like a human)
|
| She says she’ll still be there (that she’ll be there)
|
| I don’t quite understand it, she’s been too fair
|
| 'cause somehow she cares
|
| I guess that’s the way it goes, the way that it goes
|
| And nobody knows what compels her
|
| She’s seen my highs and lows and never let go
|
| Oh yes she treats me like a human (like a human)
|
| She says she’ll still be there (that she’ll be there)
|
| I don’t quite understand it, she’s been too fair
|
| 'cause somehow she cares
|
| I guess that’s the way it goes, the way that it goes
|
| And nobody knows what compels her
|
| She’s seen my highs and lows and never let go
|
| And when the world has turned it’s back on me
|
| I won’t have to feel alone
|
| 'cause I know she cares |
