In the corner by the old tv, but I can't recognize your face
I haven't been here for a year or two cause' I thought that I needed my space
but slowly theres a wanderin' in my mind and it's you that I'm thinkin' of
but judging by the way that you spend your time its a push, and its a shove
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand
It's such a chore to be with someone that can't understand your past
if present is possessive of a future love then the parody is sure to pass
pass away from the kitchen in the afternoon, now I'm glad i didn't act so proud
cause it's you that I'm looking for to fill this void, its a sin but its aloud
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand, understand
Society tells me, it's a game of give and take
the feelings are clear now, but I failed to communicate
and when you tell me that it's me your thinking of
please be wary of my love.
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand.
