I Can't Be Your Man

You don't tolerate, no late-night drinking
And you don't allow, my friends to come by, (Bless the plan)
That's why I'm standing, in the driveway, (With a suitcase)
I can't be the man I am and be your man

I can't be the man I am and be your man
Why, I've tried to please you, every way I can
So, I'm a-gonna do some riding, on that midnight train again?
I can't be the man I am and be your man

You don't allow my work shoes, on the carpet
And after work, I must shower, in the basement Den
Well, I would tell you, just where to put your basement
But I can't be the man I am and be your man

I can't be the man I am and be your man
I've tried to please you, every way I can
So, I'm a-gonna do some riding, on that midnight train again?
I can't be the man I am and be your man

A man gets tired, of do's and don'ts and this and that
And you can't lead me around on a leash, like a pussycat
So, don't pack my lunch today, I won't be in
I can't be the man I am and be your man

I can't be the man I am and be your man
I've tried to please you, every way I can
So, I'm a-gonna do some riding, on that midnight train again?
I can't be the man I am and be your man

No, I can't be the man I am and be your man, (Not this far)
