Scarlet - The Man In Me lyrics

rate me

There's some things I want you to know<br />

I'm not yet quite sure but I'll explain as I go<br />

There was something you said the other day<br />

When you misunderstood what I was trying to say<br />

You think I'm together and sussed<br />

That casual affairs and a laugh is enough<br />

But you only know one side of me<br />

Well it's not real what you see<br />

That's just the man in me<br />

I might be loud and I swear<br />

And the way I wear my hair<br />

And I don't wear skirts<br />

Doesn't mean I don't get hurt<br />

I might not act a girlie way<br />

That doesn't mean to say I'm gay<br />

But there's another side of me that you should know<br />

You think that I'm cool 'cos I'm one of the boys<br />

That's one side of me that gets heard above the noise<br />

There was something you did just the other day<br />

When you let me walk home in the dark all the way<br />

I hate to be merely a meek<br />

In fear that I won't get taken seriously<br />

But you only know one side of me<br />

Well it's not real what you see<br />

That's just the man in me<br />

I might be wild and I drink<br />

And I'm tough and strong I think<br />

And I don't wear heels<br />

Doesn't mean that I don't feel<br />

I might not try to be naive<br />

'Cos doesn't vulnerable mean weak<br />

And doesn't weak mean independence has to go?<br />

I might be hard, I play to win<br />

That doesn't mean I won't give in<br />

But there's another side of me that you should know<br />

I see you're confused I can tell<br />

The look in your eyes says you don't know me so well<br />

But you only know one side of me<br />

That I've let you see<br />

That's just the man in me<br />

That's just the man in me.
