If You Will Let Me, I Know I Can Songtext
von Jimmy Ruffin

Baby, I know I blew your mind
Oh, yeah
Oh, I just kept on hangin′ around you
I thought you needed me near
Oh, yes, I did now
Thought someday we'd settle down, yeah, yeah
Trying to run a game on you
No, baby
No, no
Just tryin′ to make you know
Oh, baby
And if you let me, I know I can
I can sail my ship on dry land
Dry land
And if you let me, I know I can
Be a man
Oh, baby, won't you take a chance?
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I know you told me from the start how you knew
Oh, my mind was already made up, baby


I was gonna take care of you, darling, yes, I was now
Instead, I made things just a little rough on you, baby
Trying to run a game on you
No, baby
No, no
Just tryin' to make you see
Hey, yeah, yeah
If you let me, I know I can sail this ship on dry land
Dry land
Oh, baby
And if you let me, I know I can
Yeah
Be a man
Oh, baby, won′t you understand?
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Hey, hey
Take me, baby
Oh
Trying to run a game on you
No, baby
No, no
Just tryin′ to make you see
My mind's gone off and left me
My heart′s living with you
Ooh, yeah
And baby, I miss you
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Sail this ship on dry land
Oh
If you let me, I know I can
I can build you a house on quicksand
Oh, baby
And if you let me, I know I can
Yeah
Be a man
Oh, baby, won't you understand?
Come on, honey, now
Take a chance and just let me be your man
′Cause I'll do anything, baby
Anything you wanna, wanna, wanna
Wanna, wanna, wanna me to do now, yeah
But if you let me, I know I can
I can sail this ship, baby
Sail it on dry land
If you let me
