Weakness in a Man

Jimmy Dean · These Hands [RCA Victor] [1971]

(Jerry Chesnut)



Funny how you've changed it makes me wonder have I ever really known you

How could you abuse the kindness and all the tenderness that I've shown you

If I have known then I have shown the strenght

On which my love could make a stand

But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness for the weakness in a man.



I can give you almost anything if I know what you're looking for

I can give you everything that any other man can maybe more

He may promise you the world but I can give you anything he can

So don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man.



I may live my life alone with walls of stone inside some prison cell

But no man's gonna take the love I own and never live to tell a tale

So don't forsake the love we knew cause now you know exactly where I stand

And don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man.



No don't mistake my tenderness for any sign of weakness in your man...
