I really want to tell you something
I really want to tell you something
This is just the way I am
But I can't
All your words that have no meaning
You make me want to be a man
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something
You make me want to be a man
But you can't

The thunder and the rain
Called me when you came
Now it's different
We didn't need to say
Much to communicate
Is misinterpreted
99 percent

I really want to tell you something
This is just the way I am
But I can't
I really want to tell you something
You make me want to be a man
All your words that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
But you can't
You really want to tell me something
You make me want to be a man
Every word you say

Finds a home in me
Could hurt me like this
Nothing anyone could ever say
Baby please
Don't light that cigarette
Don't light that cigarette

I really want to tell you something
I really want to tell you something
This is just the way I am
But I can't
You make me want to be a man
All your words that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You make me want to be a man
You really want to tell me something
But you can't

I really want to tell you something
I really want to tell you something
This is just the way I am
But I can't
You make me want to be a man
All your words that have no meaning
You really want to tell me something
This is just the way I am
You make me want to be a manBut you can't
