Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll never be a sailor
Conquering the raging sea
That ain't the man I'm supposed to be
I'll never be a dancer
I was born with two left feet
That ain't the man I'm supposed to be
[Verse 2]
Nobody's ever called me a good man
And that's alright by me
Just as long as you call me your man
That's the only man
I ever wanna be
[Verse 3]
I'll never be a boxer
I've got the heart, but no technique
That ain't the man I'm supposed to be
I'll never be an acrobat
Flying high on the trapeze
That ain't the man I'm supposed to be
[Verse 4]
Nobody's ever called me a good man
And that's alright by me
Just as long as you call me your man
That's the only man
I ever wanna be
[Verse 5]
I guess I'll be a singer
Just struggling to stay on key
That's the man I'm supposed to be
Never first, never last
Just somewhere in between
That's the man I'm supposed to be
