Honey how you've changed it makes me wonder have I ever really known you How could you abuse and use the kindeness and tenderness that I have shown you If I have known then I have shown the strenght on which my love could make a stand But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness for the weakness in your man I can give you almost anything if I know what you're looking for I can give you everything any other man can give and more He may promise you the world but I can give you everything he can So don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man [ guitar + harmonica ] I may live my life alone with walls of stone inside some lonely cell But no man's gonna take the love I own and never live to tell the tale So don't forsake the vows you made and don't remove my little golden band And don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man Don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man
