This is the word about a lovers plan
to build a promise with his bare hands
He left the beauty of his woman,
to tell the story of a man
But now sheâs in the valley of anotherâs charm
Jumped from cloud 9 into anotherâs arms
I heard him asking what can a young boy do,
So to a man I told the truth
I said young man...
I would go and build a bridge
under her but over him
Then when the valley gets cold again
She can always cross your bridge
If and when she comes to it
Confusion kicked him like a gun,
fired from her tongue
The hammer swung a bullet through his back
but it hurt more in the front
Now babyâs puppy love is dog gone
On his way home his lady moved on
Then, to a friend, he asked what to do
Then, to a man, I told the truth
I said over the valley...
Donât go and cry yourself a river
Your heavy heart will sink you down
And if you think you just canât forgive her
Than, to a man, Iâll show you how...
