Tell me you don't love me anymore
Don't you leave me standin' by the back door
I can take it, I can feel the bee sting
So tell me that you don't feel anything

Don't come askin' around
Just because you're back in town
I don't need the let down

And you know it takes
It takes a real man
You're makin' promises
that you can break in your two hands
Say goodbye to Peter Pan

Tell me you no longer want to hold me
That you wanna ride back down the river
that you sold me
Make it count, I just want to feel it
I put my heart upon the table
But your Momma told you not to steal it

Don't you call me from Idaho
Just to say a simple hello
I don't need a free throw

And you know it takes
It takes a real man
You're makin' promises that you can break
in your two hands
Say goodbye to Peter Pan

Don't you call me from Spain
Just to see if I'm ok
I don't need the display
Don't write letters to send
If you're never comin' back again
I don't need another friend

And you know it takes
It takes a real man
You're makin' promises that you can break
in your two hands
Say goodbye to Peter Pan
Say goodbye to Peter Pan
Because you know it takes a real man
