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)
