Well high school got me educated
Still barely graduated
I didn't have a clue
Deadest man in the navy
They did their best to break me
Somehow I made it through
I've had some hard knocks
I've been around the block
But baby I believe
That lovin' you made a man of me

Raising hell, racing cars
Closing down the local bars
That's what I used to do
Family told me settle down
Find yourself some solid ground
Where you can put down some roots
Back then I thought love was only sissy stuff
But now I see
That lovin' you made a man of me
Lovin' you made a man of me

I don't know what it is you do
But every time I'm holding you
I know what my heart is for
I'm the one you lean on
Got to be strong
It ain't just about me anymore
Well goodbye to my flyin' immaturity
Lovin' you made a man of me

I should be only lost and lonly
As a boy can be , can't you see
That lovin' you made a man of me
Lovin' you made a man of me

It made a man of me
It made a man of me, yeah
