The Man I Would Like to Be Lyrics & Tabs by Leonard Nimoy

The Man I Would Like to Be

guitar chords lyrics

Leonard Nimoy

The man I would like to be
Tries hard to make believe
That the warmth and taste and love of you

are things that you leave for me

But the man I want you to see
Won't dare to let you know
That the child within me cries, within me dies
Each time you go

Sometimes, I think you know the truth
And love the child inside
And act as though you love the man
Just to let me keep my pride

And act as though you love the man
Just to let me keep my pride

At times when I need comforting
Hold this child's hand
And enter when you need me
I will be your loving man

Sometimes, I think you know the truth
And love the child inside
And act as though you love the man
Just to let me keep my pride
