100 Days, 100 Nights lyrics

100 days, 100 nights

To know a man's heart

And a little more

Before he knows his own

You know a man

Can play the part

Of a saint

Just so long

For a day comes

When his true, his true self unfolds

He maybe mellow

He maybe kind

Treat you good

All the time

But there's something just beyond what he's told

100 days, 100 nights

To know a man's heart

100 days, 100 nights

To know a man's heart

And a little more

Before he knows his own

Wait a minute

Maybe I need to slow it down just a little

Take my time

I had a man

Tell me things

Made me feel

Just like a queen

And I thought

He was the one

I would hold

Oh yes I did

But one day

I looked around

That old man

Was nowhere to be found

100 days for this heart to unfold

100 days, 100 nights

To know a man's heart

100 days, 100 nights

To know a man's heart

And a little more

Before he knows his own
