Lead vocals by tommy shawI 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 killAnd 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 caresI 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 beenAnd 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 caresI 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 goOh 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 caresI 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 goAnd when the world has turned it's back on me
I won't have to feel alone
'cause I know she cares
