John Powers - Lonely Boy

i want to say that i am
only a heartbroken man
that after all i've been through
i could still be able to love you

but in my heart i know it's true
i'm just a lonely boy
just a little lonely boy

if i were simply
a old cold soul
I know that person like you
could make me feel warm again
if i was just strong and far away
that you could hold me
make me weak
and bring me home again

but what you've really got to be
and i can't ask you to be for me
is a mother and a lover too
so young and happy, i won't ask that of you

because in my heart i know it's true
i'm a scared little boy
i'm a lonely little boy
