When I die I hope to be
A better man than you thought I'd be
It's been hard to make you see
What kind of man I'm tryin' to be
All I ask for you to try
To understand what it means to me
It's not hard to understand why you
Get discouraged all the time
I keep tryin' not to worry, but I
Can't help feelin' lost in you
But I lo--o--o--o--ove you
Love you
And I need you
Time goes by and you'll find
That we'll achieve a love sublime
When I die I hope to be
A better man than you thought I'd be
It's not hard to understand why you
Get discouraged all the time
I keep tryin' not to worry, but I
Can't help feelin' lost in you
'Cause I love you and I want you
'Cause I got to, got to have you
'Cause I, 'cause I need you
When I die I hope to be
A better man than you thought I'd be
Be (the kind of man that you thought I'd)...
