From the blind side, baby
 I wasn't looking at all
 I tried to dance
 And do the rope-a-dope, baby
 But I was destined to fall
 Well that's the best fall I ever took
 I can do without plenty of things, baby
 Like lots of money
 And the problems that it brings

 CHORUS:
 But your love is not an optional thing
 It's not a February fling, no
 It's not good for man to be alone
 And your love is not an optional thing
 You got a figure
 Like an hourglass, baby
 You just look better with time
 You got a mind
 Like a steel trap, baby
 You're quick to find the bottom line
 Here's the best line I ever said
 I do, I will, so help me God

 CHORUS
 I'm so glad
 I'm so glad
 Out love overcame
 I'm your man
 I'll protect you in the pouring rain
 A typhoon, tornado, in a hurricane
 No your love is not an optional thing
 It's not a February fling, no
 It's not good for man to be alone
 And your love
