"Would You Be My Man?" lyrics

There's a knife, by the door, that you don't know about
But you don't need to know about it
A loose board in the floor that you don't know about
But I'll let you know if you need to know about it
I was in love, but you don't know about it
And you don't need to know about it

But would you be my, would you be my
Would you be my man?
Would you be my, would you be my
Would you be my man?

There's a few numbers in my book, that you don't know about
But you don't need to know about them
And a few photos that I took, that you don't know about
But I'll let you know if you need to know about it
Yeah I had a life, that you don't know about
And you don't need to know about it

But would you be my, would you be my
Would you be my man?
Would you be my, would you be my
Would you be my man?

You don't carry the sharp nails, to the coffin of my freedom
I've been here for lifetimes
And smooth sails, are nothing to believe in
I don't need a lifeline
I'll never be your woman

But would you be my, would you be my
Would you be my man?
Would you be my, would you be my
Would you be my man?

Tell me, what are you gonna do
Are you leaving tonight, or are you coming through
I could be holding two clubs, or hiding four aces
But I'll let you know, on a need to know basis
Your hands, I don't know about 'em
But, I wanna know about it
