(Tommy Shaw)
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


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

Because I know she cares

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, $$#umed too much

The need to feel a younger one's touch
Seemed important then
Oh what a fool I've been


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


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


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


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


And when the world has turned its back on me
I won't have to feel alone

'Cause I know she cares
