Tentative Man
My baby talks a little awkward, his manner is reserved
His intentions are brave but he loses his nerve
And when he comes around to see me
He's not assertive like he planned
I understand
Baby is a tentative man
He don't sit too close to me, I must scare him half to death
And if I brush against him I hear him catch his breath
And if he brings himself to touch me
There's hesitation in his hand
I understand
Baby is a tentative man
I say maybe it's time he's taking
Maybe he's been badly burned
Maybe that's the way God made him
I don't feel concerned
'Cause when I catch his shining eyes
I have found a love so grand
I understand
Baby is a tentative man
Hombre Tentativo
Mi bebé habla un poco torpe, su manera es reservada
Sus intenciones son valientes pero pierde la valentía
Y cuando viene a verme
No es asertivo como planeaba
Entiendo
Bebé es un hombre tentativo
No se sienta muy cerca de mí, debo asustarlo hasta la mitad
Y si rozo contra él, lo escucho contener el aliento
Y si se anima a tocarme
Hay vacilación en su mano
Entiendo
Bebé es un hombre tentativo
Digo que tal vez es hora de que se decida
Tal vez ha sido herido gravemente
Tal vez así lo hizo Dios
No me preocupa
Porque cuando veo sus ojos brillantes
He encontrado un amor tan grandioso
Entiendo
Bebé es un hombre tentativo
