I'M A MAN
Jake Issac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The song "I'm a Man" by Jake Isaac is a poignant and emotional ballad that explores the themes of love, heartbreak and redemption. The opening lines of the song "I could not find no one to replace you, But I really do not mind" suggest that the singer is reconciled to the fact that he may never find someone who can replace his former lover. However, in the subsequent lines, he admits that he is still chasing her, and that he doesn't mean to waste her time. The conflict between the singer's desire to move on and his inability to let go is palpable throughout the song.
The chorus of the song "We have been here once before, But I swear I will love you more, These words, I pray, will change your heart" serves as a plea to the former lover to give the singer another chance. The singer acknowledges that he has made mistakes in the past, but assures his lover that he will love her more this time around. The line "I am a man" is repeated throughout the song, suggesting that the singer is taking responsibility for his actions and is not hiding behind excuses.
The final lines of the song "Men aren't supposed to cry, But this tears are already dry, I had enough I am being real" suggest that the singer has come to terms with his emotions and is ready to be honest with himself and his former lover. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer expressing his willingness to "sink or swim" to make amends with his lover.

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
