there are so many ways to love a man
and so many things to understand
and if there ever comes a time you decide to change your mind
i'll need a way to hold you and i can
cause i'll know all the ways to love a man

but there's so many ways to lose a man
so quickly he can slip through your hands
one little thing goes wrong
then all at once he's gone
i'd have no way to hold him like i planned
it takes more than just one way to love a man

with my hands my heart anything i can find
my child my heart my soul and my mind
i'll know that i can hold him yes i can
if i know all the ways to love a man
