Too Much Of A Man (To Be Tied Down)

He's gettin' up now he thinks I'm sleepin'
And in the darkness I can hear him as he tries to dress and never make a sound
He's gonna leave me and I can't stop him
I'm woman enough to know he's too much of a man to be tied down

So I'll just lie here pretend I'm sleepin'
And I'll bite my lip to keep from callin' out and beggin' him to stay around
Oh how I need him we've loved so little
But I'm woman enough to know he's too much of a man to be tied down

It hurts so much now but it was worth it
What love he gave me in the short time fate allotted us I never could have found
My heart is pounding I hear his footsteps
I never knew a turnin' doorknob made such world shakin' kinds of sounds

But wait a minute I hear him breathing
I feel his lips upon my cheek I feel his hands under the bow upon my gown
Could this be happ'ning could I be so lucky
Could I be woman enough to make this much of a man wanna be tied down
