Marc Cohn - Man of the World lyrics

rate me

I want to be a man of the world

With blood in my veins and a hurt in my heart

Out in the street with the noise and the dirt

And the ones still looking for a brand new start

Oh I've been sleeping far too long

Hiding out in a palace of gold

Show me one thing before I'm gone

That can't be bought and can't be sold

Show me how to come alive

Show me how to make you mine

'Cause if you'd only be my girl

I could be a man of the world

Then I could be a man of the world
