The Man I Am Today — текст песни (Rodney Atkins)

When I was smaller wishing I was taller
I woke up one morning and my mama was gone
I tried to talk to my father he told me not to bother him
he said boy being a man means being strong
Now leave me alone

So you say you wanna see behind the curtain
you wanna know why I don`t show it when I`m hurting
It never did me any good before so long ago I locked that door
But please don`t think I`m pushing you away
It`s just the man I am today

Before I was loved by you I didn`t know how to
Love was nothing to me but a four letter word
But I`m learning being strong don`t mean being alone
So just hold on girl and soon you`re gonna know
The man I`ll be tomorrow

So you say you wanna see behind the curtain
you wanna know why I don`t show it when I`m hurting
It never did me any good before so long ago I locked that door
But please don`t think I`m pushing you away
It`s just the man I am today

It never did me any good before so long ago I locked that door
But please don`t think I`m pushing you away
It`s just the man I am today

The man I am today
