You know you hit me from the blind side, baby
I wasn't looking at all
I tried to dance and do the rope a dope, baby
But I was destined to fall
Well that's the best fall I ever took
I can do without plenty of things, baby
Like lots of money
And the problems it brings
But your love's not an optional thing
It's not a February fling, no
It's not good for a man to be alone
And your love is not an optional thing
You got a figure like an hourglass, baby
You just look better with time
You got a mind like a steel trap, baby
You're quick to find the bottom line
Here's the best line I ever said
I do, I will so help me God
Your love's not an optional thing
It's not a February fling, no
It's not good for a man to be alone
And your love's not an optional thing
(I'm so glad)
I'm so glad, our love overcame
(I'm your man)
And I'll protect you in the pouring rain
A typhoon, tornado, in a hurricane
No, your love's not an optional thing
It's not a February fling, no
It's not good for man to be alone
And your love
No, your love's not an optional thing
It's not a February fling, no
It's not good for man to be alone
And your love
No, your love's not an optional thing
It's not a February fling, no, no, no
It's not good for man to be alone
