[Verse 1]
Oh, I've been a sinner
Oh, all my life
I've been the wrong number
I been unsafe cover
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
[Verse 2]
Now I been the worst, the worst, the worst
Oh, all my life
I've been a hair trigger
I've been a grave digger
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
[Chorus]
Oh, what can I do?
I'm only a man
How can I prove?
I mean what I can
I give you my word
I give what I got
I'm only a man
I'm only a man
I'm only a man
[Verse 3]
Oh, I been a bad girl
Oh, all my life
And I've been a mean lover
And I've been a dream crusher
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
[Verse 4]
Said I've been god awful, yeah
Oh, all my life
I been your Brutus, your Judas
And I've been so wreck and ruthless
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
[Chorus]
Oh, what can I do?
I'm only a man
How can I provе?
I mean what I can
I give you my word, baby
I give what I got
I'm only a man
I'm only a man
I'm only a man
[Bridge]
I said I'm only a man
Standing as still as I can
I'm only a lovеr with not much to give
I'm only a woman with nothing to live for
Oh Mary, Mary, won't you forgive?
A prodigal daughter at the edge of the cliff, I do what I can
[Verse 5]
Oh, I been so bad, baby
Not soft to the touch
Said I been the worst, the worst, the worst
Not who I once was
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
[Outro]
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
