Your yellow eyes and fleeting hands
The memory of running wild
A verdant heart at your command
I love you first, I was a child

I crawled for love, I carried you
A precious burden for the young
With time, you faded to a memory
A name forgotten on my tongue (oh)

When history repeats itself
To teach us, fool us, to beguile
I stand before you once again
I am not old - I'm not a child

Isn't there a man in you?
Oh, there is a man in me
I can see the woman in you
Isn't there a man there too?

I ask him to lay down again
To reap what he had left to grow
But my first love is too ashamed
And gone's the man from long ago

Oh, you seem the same, but there's no fire
Like someone's had the best of you
But it's too soon to lose and tire
When love's supposed to make you new (ah)

But my love's got a troubled mind
Confuses earthly power with God
Denies the nature of his kind
Denies the body, numb and flawed

(Is there still a man in you?)

Is there still a man in you?
Oh, 'cause there's a man in me
I can see the woman in you
Is there still a man there too?

It's not showing on the outside
But inside I'm just like you
If there's still a man in you
In you, in you, in you, in you, in you
