Well high school got me educated

Still barely graduated

I didn't have a clue

Deadest man in the navy

They did their 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 lovin' you made a man of me



Raising hell, racing cars

Closing down the local bars

That's 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 every time I'm holding you

I know what my heart is for

I'm the one you lean on

Got to be strong

It ain't just about me anymore

Well goodbye to my flyin' immaturity

Lovin' you made a man of me



I should be only lost and lonly

As a boy can be , can't you see

That lovin' you made a man of me

Lovin' you made a man of me



It made a man of me

It made a man of me, yeah
