Verse 1
He works the long days, comes home with tired hands
Carries the weight so she don’t have to
He’d walk through fire, he’d stand in the rain
But without her touch, it’s all in vain
Pre-Chorus
’Cause a man needs affection, a man needs to feel
Wanted, not just needed, but chosen for real
[Chorus]
He’ll protect and provide, he’ll do so much more
Build the whole world if she opens the door
But all he asks in return is to feel loved
To feel wanted, to know he’s enough
When that feeling fades, he starts to get lost
Drifting in silence, paying the cost
[Verse 2]
He fixes the broken, he holds it all in
Smiles through the struggle, won’t let the cracks show
But the quiet at night tells a different tale
When her arms don’t reach, his armor starts to fail
Verse 3 (new)
He stays up late to fight the demons within
Even when he looses most battles
He still gets up in the morning with a smile
Pays the bills quiet, swallows the pride
Keeps the engine running so the whole house can ride
He’d give his last breath if it meant she was safe
But without her “I see you,” he starts to break
Chorus
He’ll protect and provide, he’ll do so much more
Build the whole world if she opens the door
But all he asks in return is to feel loved
To feel wanted, to know he’s enough
When that feeling fades, he starts to get lost
Drifting in silence, paying the cost
[Bridge]
It’s not weakness to need to be seen
Not pride to want her to choose him again
He’d give her forever, but forever needs fuel
Without that spark, even strong men can lose
[Final Chorus]
He’ll protect and provide, he’ll do so much more
But all he asks in return is to feel loved
To feel wanted, to know he’s enough
When that feeling fades, he starts to get lost
Don’t let him drift, bring him back home
’Cause a man needs affection to feel whole
(End on a soft, repeating “feel loved… feel wanted…”)
