The Man In Me

<br>There`s some things I want you to know<br>I`m not yet quite sure but I`ll explain as I go<br>There was something you said the other day<br>When you misunderstood what I was trying to say<br>You think I`m together and sussed<br>That casual affairs and a laugh is enough<br>But you only know one side of me<br>Well it`s not real what you see<br>That`s just the man in me<br>I might be loud and I swear<br>and the way I wear my hair<br>and I don`t wear skirts<br>Doesn`t mean I don`t get hurt<br>I might not act a girlie way<br>That doesn`t mean to say I`m gay<br>But there`s another side of me that you should know<br>You think that I`m cool `cos I`m one of the boys<br>That`s one side of me that gets heard above the noise<br>There was something you did just the other day<br>When you let me walk home in the dark all the way<br>I hate to be merely a meek<br>In fear that I won`t get taken seriously<br>But you only know one side of me<br>Well it`s not real what you see<br>That`s just the man in me<br>I might be wild and I drink<br>and I`m tough and strong I think<br>and I don`t wear heels<br>Doesn`t mean that I don`t feel<br>I might not try to be naive<br>`Cos doesn`t vulnerable mean weak<br>and doesn`t weak mean independence has to go?<br>I might be hard, I play to win<br>That doesn`t mean I won`t give in<br>But there`s another side of me that you should know<br>I see you`re confused I can tell<br>The look in your eyes says you don`t know me so well<br>But you only know one side of me<br>That I`ve let you see<br>That`s just the man in me<br>That`s just the man in me.
