What's a man without all the attention?Well, he's just a manAnd why do you fear that no one will hearWhat you've got to say?
Who am I without all your affection?I'm a nobody tooI'm not above being unlovedIf that's how I've got to pay
And you can tell everyone, everyoneThat I've got your number, son'Cause I can shine my light onI can shine my light on too'Cause I can shine my light onI can shine my light on you
I don't want to spend night after night with youWhile you figure it outWhile you're getting restless, I'm getting restlessLooking at you
I don't want to be your rock in hard times'Cause I've figured you outAnd you're not a man who can understandAnyone but you
And you can tell everyone, everyoneThat I've got your number, son'Cause I can shine my light onI can shine my light on too'Cause I can shine my light onI can shine my light on you
Would I sacrifice myselfAt the altar of someone else's love for me?No, that doesn't comfort me
You think you can creep in the shadowsWhile you figure it outI've listened to enough of all of your stuff to fillA book or two
And you can tell everyone, everyoneThat I've got your number, son'Cause I can shine my light onI can shine my light on too'Cause I can shine my light onI can shine my light on you'Cause I can shine my light onI can shine my light on you
