Well if you want to be a friend to someone
You're going to have to learn to land from within

I didn't want to be the one to have to tell you
But your dreams are fading fast
Didn't want to be the one to have to hurt you
But you're smiling now, and I want that smile to last

Well if you want to take, someday
You've got to want to settle down, once and for all
And if you want to have a child, oh someday
You've got to make a lot of love, right now

I didn't want to be the one to have to tell you
That something's really wrong
I didn't want to be the one to have to hurt you

But I guess it's me, 'cause I've know you for so long
And I don't want to lose you

Oh, no, no, no, no, darlin'
Don't want to see you cry
Don't want my love to shake you
Oh, no, no, no, no, darlin'
Don't want to say goodbye
And if you want to be a man someday
You're going to have to make a stand
Along the way

I didn't want to be the one to have to tell you
But life goes by so fast
I didn't want to be the one to have to hurt you
But you're happy now and I want that feeling to last
You're happy now and I want that feeling to last
