The Man I Want To Be - Gov't Mule

I’m here today

There’s some things I want to get off my chest

Some things are starting real nice

They say as we get older

We get wiser and I

I don’t know if that’s true

But I know a fog’s been lifted from my eyes

You see it seems that sometimes

When someone wins

Someone has to lose

I’m afraid I’ve been the winner too much

But when it comes to me and you, baby

Oh you’ve always been there

There was times that I was gone

You needed my touch

But you know I love you

I know you do

So tell me you never gave up on me

I can be everything those people see

Everything

I can’t be the man I want to be

I refuse to listen, baby

You try to tell me so many times

I was headed down the wrong, weird street

I got this one way ticket, baby

I think I might have to cash it in

Maybe coming home would be the best thing for me

You see I don’t want to lose you

If I do, nobody wins

Well I know it’s up to me to make it right this time

So give me one more chance, baby

I swear I won’t let you down

Take my hand

Let me say what’s on my mind

I’m here today

For so many things I want to say

Some things I finally realize

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder

I don’t know if that’s really true

But I know I dried a thousand tears from my eyes

And you know I love you

I know you do

So tell me you never gave up on me

I can be everything those people see

Everything

I can’t be the man I want to be

Oh

Oh, I hear you, baby

Oh, yeah

You know I love you

I know you do

So tell me you never gave up on me

I can be everything those people see

Everything

I can’t be the man I want to be

Oh

I can’t be the man I want to be

I can’t be the man I want to be

I can’t be the man I want to be

I can’t be the man I want to be

Tell me now

You know I love you

I know you do

So tell me you never gave up on me
