Well high school got me educated still when I graduated I didn't have a clue
Did a stint in the Navy they did their best to break me somehow I made it through
I've had some hard knocks I've been around the block but baby I believe
That lovin' you made a man of me
Raisin' hell racin' cars closin' down the local bars that's what I used to do
Family told me settle down find yourself some solid ground
Where you can put down some roots
Back then I thought love was only sissy stuff now I see
That loving you made a man of me loving you made a man of me
I don't know what it is you do but every time I'm holding you
I know what my heart is for
I'm the one you lean on got to be strong it ain't just about me no more
Well goodbye to my blind immaturity lovin' you made a man of me
Made a man of me yeah made a man of me
[ steel ]
I'd still be only lost and lonely as a boy can be can't you see
That loving you made a man of me loving you made a man of me
Made a man of me yeah made a man of me yeah
(Lovin' you lovin' you lovin' you lovin' you)
