Neil Diamond - Man You Need

I never did believe
I would end up losing you this way.
As far as I could see,
the life we had was always gonna stay.
And I tried to be
the man you need.

I'll never understand
what I expected out of loving you.
The way we had it planned,
there always could be room enough for two
to live and grow
How could we know
I wouldn't be the man you need?

And I wanna know why;
yeah, I wanna know how.
Say, I wanna know where ev'rything went wrong
And I'm sorry.
'cause I love you.

You told me more than once
I never understood my way around.
The way that things worked out,
I'm still not really sure of where I'm bound.
You knew me well.
I should've seen
I couldn't be the man you need.
And I reach for the sky;
I reach for the stars.
And all of the time I was reaching for you.
And I'm sorry.
'cause I love you.

I've only just begun
to learn the meaning of not having you.
I thought for sure
that I would be the man you need forever more,
that I would be the man you need forever more.
I want to be the man you need forever more.
