[Chorus]
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something
But I can't, you make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something
But you can't, you make me want to be a man

[Verse 1]
The thunder and the rain called you and you came
We didn't need to say much to communicate
Now it's different, 99%
Is misinterpreted

[Pre-Chorus]
No-oh-oh-oh, no-oh-oh-oh
No-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something
But I can't, you make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something
But you can't, you make me want to be a man
[Verse 2]
Every word you say finds a home in me (Oh-oh)
Nothing that anyone could ever say could hurt me like this (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Baby, please, don't light that cigarette
Don't light that cigarette (Ah-ah)

[Pre-Chorus]
No-oh-oh-oh, no-oh-oh-oh
No-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something
But I can't, you make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something
But you can't, you make me want to be a man
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something
But I can't, you make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something
But you can't, you make me want to be a man
