I'm a man lyrics

When I was a boy, my mama, she said to me Son, you better lead yourself out of this misery I'm gonna help you, just as best as I can But there's only so much I can do to turn a boy to a man You better be tough, and strong, keep your belly full You better be true and decent with a gentle soul You better believe that you're gonna get outta this town You better believe that no one can push you around The time is coming for walking out the door (Wo-o-o-oah) Cause I'm a man, that's what I am (Wo-o-o-oah) Yes I'm a man, that's where I stand (Wo-o-o-oah) Cause I'm a man, that's what I am Oh baby, I know that you can understand You got a good head, you better use it boy You gotta be smart if you wanna be somewhere in this world Cause I'm gonna help you, just as best as I can But there's only so much I can do to turn a boy to a man (Wo-o-o-oah) Cause I'm a man, that's what I am (Wo-o-o-oah) Yes I'm a man, that's where I stand (Wo-o-o-oah) Cause I'm a man, that's what I am Oh baby, I know that you can understand The time is coming for walking out the door (Wo-o-o-oah) Cause I'm a man, that's what I am (Wo-o-o-oah) Yes I'm a man, that's where I stand (Wo-o-o-oah) Cause I'm a man, that's what I am Oh baby, I know that you can understand (Wo-o-o-oah) Cause I'm a man, that's what I am (Wo-o-o-oah) Yes I'm a man, that's where I stand (Wo-o-o-oah) Cause I'm a man, that's what I am Oh baby, I know that you can understand
