Man You Want Me To Be

Ten months, six days and three long nights
Waited all year for the time to be right
A six pack, two glasses and a feeling on ice
Got a feeling that tonight might be the night
So I reach into my pocket
Pull out that ring

And I say

I can't promise you the world
But I can give you everything in-between
I can't pull the moon and the stars
But I can give you something
A shoulder to cry on, a rock you can lean on
A bed where you can sleep
No I can't offer much
But I can be the man you want me to be

Four years one house and two baby girls
Each little smile
Lights up my world
A little more like their mama each and everyday
But that doesn't surprise me 'cause she still
Takes my breath away
So I tell 'em
Just like I know a daddy should

And I say

I can't promise you the world
But I can give you everything in-between
I can't pull the moon and the stars
But I can give you something
A shoulder to cry on, a rock you can lean on
A bed where you can sleep
No I can't offer much
But I can be the man you want me to be

86 laps around the sun
Mama's gettin' real tired, she's had
A hell of a run
But I ain't giving up yet I know she still got some fight
Even if everyone else gives up, I ain't
Turning off the light
Yeah, she knows her baby boy still got his word to keep

So I say

I can't promise you the world
But I can give you everything in-between
I can't pull the moon and the stars
But I can give you something
A shoulder to cry on, a rock you can lean on
A bed where you can sleep
No I can't offer much
But I can be the boy you raised me to be

No I can't offer much
But I can be the man you want me to be
