Let me be clear Look in my eyes Don't ask me why They've gone from brown to blue Let yourself in Don't be surprised In what you find All that you see is true I don't want to have a horse in the running I don't want to spread the news of the storm that is a coming I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder I don't want to be young Be another day older I don't want to be the son of a better man I don't want to love you any more than the best I can I just want to be your man Old fairy tales built up on lies Meant to disguise what we have left to lose Turn me to stone Offer me twice Into the fire Into the fire I choose I don't want to have a horse in the running I don't want to spread the news of the storm that is a coming I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder I don't want to be young Be another day older I don't want to be the son of a better man I don't want to love you any more than the best I can I just want to be your man Your man Daddy was a fool when he walked out on the wire Waited for the wind, the wind was on fire She took him at his word and they never turned back Never turned back again I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder I don't want to be young Another day older I don't want to be the son of a better man I don't want to love you any more than the best I can I just want, I want, I want to be your man (I wanna be your man) I don't want to be a horse in the running But I could spread the news, a new day is coming All I need to find is the place on your shoulder Baby we could grow young, yeah we could grow older We could have a son who's a better man With baby blues eyes Don't you understand I just want to be your man
