We stood before our friends and pledged eternal love,
To have and to hold.
We both meant every word and spoke of one above,
Love could not grow old.
But then I found myself, so many nights
With time my only friend.
And I only saw it in your eyes
Too late to make amends… Darling
Time can be a healer or time can divide
I never meant for anyone to take you from my side.
But I'm just a man (just a man)
And it comes down to this
I was just too weak to resist.
If only I had known I'd caused you so much pain
I would not have strayed
And though I promise you I'll never fall again baby
I must lie in this bed that I've made.
And though I'm hurting you I swear it was
The last thing on my mind
And I found myself on my own
One too many times … darling
Time can be a healer or time can divide
I never meant for anyone to take you from my side.
But I'm just a man (just a man)
And it comes down to this
I was just too weak to resist.
