You got to walk a little slower when you're with her
Take the time to be tender, that's the plan

You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces
Only then can you hold her in your hand
You got to live for every moment that she gives you
Make the one in a million understand

You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces
Only then can you hold her in your hand
Now too many faces have come down between us
And I was the fool to be

And I can't deny you the wide open spaces
As long as she stops loving me

You got to stand a little closer when you hold her
Make her feel like a woman, understand
You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces
Only then can you hold her in your hand
