Well high school got me educated
Still when I graduated
I didn't have a clue

Did a stint in the Navy
They did they're best to break me
Somehow I made it through

I've had some hard knocks
I've been around the block
But baby I believe
That love and you made a man of me

Raising hell racing cars
Closing down the local bars
That what I used to do

Family told me settle down
Find yourself some solid ground
Where you can put down some roots

Back then I thought love
Was only sissy stuff
But now I see
That lovin' you made a man of me
Lovin' you made a man of me

I don't know what it is you do
But everytime I'm holding you
I know what my heart is for

I'm the one you lean on
Gotta be strong
It ain't just about me anymore

Well goodbye to my blind immaturity
Lovin' you made a man of me
Made a man of me, yeah
Made a man of me, wow

I'd still be only lost and lonely
As a boy can be can't ya see
That lovin' you made a man of me
Lovin' you made a man of me

Ya made a man of me
Man of me, yeah
