I mean what I say
 My pledge is my bond
 Well that?s just my way
 When you?ve made a promise
 To someone who?s gone
 Well that?s when forever
 Seems a little too long

 I?m a man of my word
 And I made you a vow
 I swore that I?d loved you
 And I can?t change that now
 They tell me I?m free
 To find someone new
 I just don?t have the heart
 'Cause I gave mine to you

 Bridge : I said my love
 Would last for all time
 And no one
 Would take your place
 Well if that promise
 Was the last sound you heard
 Well you know I kept it
 I?m a man of my word

 I?m a man of my word
 And it?s cost me so dear
 'Cause those words are a prison
 Without you here
 And I?ll go to my grave
 With this torch held high
 But just once I wish
 I had told you a lie

 Repeat Bridge

 Tag : Yes I?ll always love you
 I?m a man of my word
