You had this notion in your head 
 Someone would come along and sweep you off your feet 
 Like in all those storybooks you read 
 Well if you're lookin' for salvation 
 Like some damsel in distress 
 Girl there ain't no heroes on white horses 
 At least I ain't seen 'em yet 
  
 There ain't no knights in shinin' armor 
 There ain't no never, never land 
 And I won't ever walk on water 
 I can only love you like a man 
  
 Now heaven knows I'm no angel 
 Just flesh and bone like all the rest 
 I never claimed to have a halo 
 All I can give you is my best 
 But, I will never try to hurt you 
 Or even give you cause to doubt 
 That my heart is yours forever 
 Ain't that what true love's all about 
  
 There ain't no knights in shinin' armor 
 There ain't no never, never land 
 And I won't ever walk on water 
 I can only love you like a man 
 No I won't ever walk on water 
 I can only love you like a man
