What's a man without all the attention?
Well, he's just a man
And why do you fear that 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
That 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 want to 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 want to be your rock in hard times
Cause I've figured you out
And you're not a man
Who can understand anyone but you
And you can tell everyone, everyone
That 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
That 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
