Rodney atkins 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 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
