I'M A MAN
Jake Issac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could not find no one to replace you
But I really do not mind

I never found myself but still I chase you
I don't mean to wasted your time

With another love I will be empty
Because you knew me too well

Now I am breaking all the rules no predating
No I can help myself

We have been here once before
But I swear I will love you more
These words, I pray, will change your heart

I know I messed up time and time again
But darling I am not perfect
I am a man

You changed my world that day when I met you
Never knew I would be lost
But I will sink or swim just to save you
Or built a bridge across

Men aren't supposed to cry
But this tears are already dry
I had enough I am being real

We have been here once before
But I swear I will love you more
These words, I pray, will change your heart

I know I messed up time and time again




But darling I am not perfect
I am a man

When the lights go down and the crowd have all gone home
And I laid my head, in a bed, that's not my own
I say a little prayer, that the Good Lord keeps you safe
As I count the days 'till I'm there to keep you warm

I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, oh-oh
I'll be thinking 'bout you

When the world is on my side, then I'm all good
And I'm out here livin' all the dreams, that you said I wouldn't
Please believe me when I say that you're the only one on my mind
Oh you're the soul I come, run back to, every time

I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, ooh-ooh
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you
Oh I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, oh-oh
I'll be thinking 'bout you

Days when the sun no longer shines
The thought of you, it keeps me in the light, hmm
When all the friends I had are gone
Oh you'll still be there for me when I get home
Get home

I'll be thinking 'bout you
Oh I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, oh-oh
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you
Oh, I'll be thinking 'bout you, oh-oh-oh
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, oh-oh-oh
I'll be thinking 'bout you

When the crowds they all go home, I'll think about you
And when the lights they all go down, I'll think about you
