God only knows how I've needed a friend
Who can see the boldness and pride
Someone strong enough I can put my faith in
Someone willing to let me inside
So be a man and be my man

[First Chorus:]
I dare you to need me
Like nobody else
I dare you to feel me
Like you've never felt
I dare you to want to want
To wanna be good to me

Baby you've got your reasons
Dangling from kite strings
But you can open your hands, let them fly
Oh I know you wont always say and do the right things
Oh but some things are worth a try
So if you can, be my man

[Second Chorus:]
I dare you to know me
Like I've never known
I dare you to show me
That I can be shown
Dare you to want to want
To wanna be good to me

Tell me I,
Tell me I'm the one who deserves you
Oh and every time, every time you know that you want to
I dare you

[Third Chorus:]
I dare you to hold me
Like you never will (again)
Kiss me and leave the world standing still
Dare you to want to want

[repeat first chorus]
