[Chorus:]
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am

I really wanna tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning

This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man


The thunder and the rain called you and you came
We didn't need to say much to communicate

Now it's different; 99% is misinterpreted

[Chorus:]

I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something, but I can't

You make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am

You really wanna tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man


Every word you say finds a home in me
Nothing that anyone could ever say
Could hurt me like this

Baby please, don't light that cigarette
Don't light that cigarette


[Chorus:]
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am

I really wanna tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning

This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man


[Chorus:]
I really wanna tell you something

This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man

Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something, but you can't

You make me want to be a man
