[Verse 1]
I tried to be the perfect soldier
I tried to be what everyone said was expected
Somehow I was selected
Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true
But deep inside of my heart I knew
That I lacked the will
I just couldn't shoot to kill

[Chorus 1]
And still she treats me like a human
She says she'll still be there
I may not be a hero, but I'll be there
'cause I know she cares

[Verse 2]
I worked hard to be the greatest lover
I wanted to be sure that I was her only one
That's how I thought it was done
But I went too far, assumed too much
The need to feel a younger one's touch
Seemed important then
Oh what a fool I've been

[Chorus 1]
And still she treats me like a human (like a human)
She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
'cause somehow she cares
[Chorus 2]
I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
She's seen my highs and lows and never let go (never let go)

[Guitar & Sax solo]

[Chorus 1]
Oh yes she treats me like a human (like a human)
She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
'cause somehow she cares

[Chorus 2]
I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
She's seen my highs and lows and never let go

[Outro]
And when the world has turned it's back on me
I won't have to feel alone
'cause I know she cares
Woah oh oh oh, I know she cares, mhm
And that's the way that it goes, woah ooh woah
I said woah woah woah woah woah woah way that it goes
I said woah woah woah woah woah woah way that it goes
Woah woah woah woah woah woah way that it goes
