But it has occurred to me...... maybe you have it all wrong
If a girl or anyone for that matter looks up at you
And somewhere in her mind s/he sees a knight in shining armour, the sun, the moon, the stars
Then you should just believe her even if you don't believe it yourself and be very very grateful
@sarah70948 I had commented before I got to yours. I am a man that has always felt the exact same way you do and felt it to be an amazingly uplifting and touching song lyrically and musically. I was shocked that no one saw it that way. FYI, here was my post:

I was reading comments wondering why no one saw the possibility of there being beauty behind a woman seeing so much good in a man and how that could positively motivate him to become a better person--which is the way I had always personally interpreted the song.
This has been one of my favorite songs for 25 years--so long that I never got online to look up the lyrics because I thought I knew them before the internet was available.
But looking at the lyrics, one letter changes everything.
Cry a little longer
And hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
I thought it was "emotions CAN be satisfied".
The good thing about music, is I can go ahead and pretend that I never discovered this.
@sarah70948 Yep, it's "CAN" be satisfied, so indeed the song has an uplifting feeling when you notice that (just listening again right now). Many songs are like that, just like a painting that can be interpreted & loved in so many different ways. I do think the song presents an essential impasse found in so many relationships, when pure honesty can be what destroys "the myth," but then both lovers can realize that overcoming such a crisis is exactly what makes the bond grow that much stronger.
