The Man I Am Today Lyrics

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 this 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, girl, I didn't know how to
'Cause love was nothing to me but a four letter word
But I've learnt being strong, don't mean being alone
So baby just hold on and soon you're gonna know
The man I'll be tomorrowRodney Atkins - The Man I Am Today - http://motolyrics.com/rodney-atkins/the-man-i-am-today-lyrics.html

You say you wanna see behind this 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

I don't wanna stay this way
I ain't gonna stay this way
The man I am today
I ain't gonna stay this way
