The Man In Me Lyrics

The Man In Me lyrics

Man In Me

There's a man in me

He's cold and he's hard

He's got an eye for deception

He's always on guard

He's swimming in concrete

Drowning in fear

And he keeps it all locked in his heart



This man is a tyrant, a fault finding hack

You can't tell him nothing

There's no turning back

He leaves blood on the highway

and scattered debris

He crawls from the wreckage

but he still doesn't see

He's alive

The man is jive



There's a man in the mirror

I don't like his looks

His teeth they are crooked

His hands are like hooks

He speaks 4 letter language

Because his mind is so small

His voice is like venom

I don't like him at all

God, I gotta get away from the man in me



She says

What are you afraid of

There's no need to judge

You know I can help you

But you won't even budge

Pretty flowers surround you

but all you can smell is a rat

She says

Why do you insist on your head in the sand

Building walls all around you, you don't understand

These ways are outmoded,

but all you can change is your hat

The man in me don't wanna know nothing about that



There's a man in the closet

He wants to come out

He wants to be noticed

But he's so filled with doubt

He wants to be well known and famous

But he's so filled with pride

The keys to his fortune stay locked up inside

Can it be the man in me?



She says

Now what are you afraid of?

There's nothing to fear

You want me to help

But you won't let me near

In your heart you can hear me

But all you believe are your eyes

Tell me why you're convinced

That a fist in your face

is all you deserve

From love you've misplaced

The truth is salvation

But all you believe in are lies

The man in me wants to believe,

but he won't even try



There's man in me,

and he's so full of hate

He's so misdirected

He thinks it's too late

Pours salt on the wounds

Only Time wants to heal

He's dying inside

And he don't wanna feel

Anything

The man is strange
