What's a man without all the attention?
Well, he's just a man
Why do you think no one will hear what you've got to say
Who am I without all your affection?
I'm a nobody, too
I'm not above being unloved if that's how I've got to pay

And you can tell everyone, everyone
I've got your number, son
'Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on too
'Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on you

I don't wanna spend night after night with you
While you figure it out
While you're getting restless, I'm getting restless looking at you
I don't wanna be your rock in hard times
Cause I've figured you out
And you're a man who can understand anyone but you

And you can tell everyone, everyone
I've got your number, son
'Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on too
'Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on you

Would I sacrifice myself
At the altar of someone else's love for me?
No, that doesn't comfort me

You think you can creep in the shadows
While you figure it out
I've listened to enough of all of your stuff to fill a book or two

And you can tell everyone, everyone
I've got your number, son
'Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on too
'Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on you
'Cause I can shine my light on
I can shine my light on you
