how long can a man be strong

Lyrics

i've been a restless, for a long, long time, tryin' to find a home, for heart of mine, the nights are lonely, and the days are long, it's hard to find a reason, to carry on, but all this searchin', is it ever gonna end?, must i keep on losin', again and again?, tell me, how long can a man be strong?, how long must he carry on, without the love of a woman, to call his own?, tell me, how long can a man be strong?, it's on every man's mind, to find that special girl, some of them getta lucky, but i'm alone in this world, still i know she's out there somewhere, so i'm gonna keep tryin', someday i'm gonna find her, it's just a matter of time, as long as i've been waiting, i know she's been waiting, too, hold on a little longer, i'm all the way to you, now ever since this world began, it takes a woman to make a man, now i need someone!, don't you know i need someone?, ooh, but all this searchin', is it ever gonna end?, must i keep on losin', again and again and again?, yeah, oh keep on waiting, oh noooo, yeah
