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
|

The man I am today
