I don’t have to talk a lot
I don’t have to say too much
I’m ok with everything
I don’t have a preference
Nothing ever gets me down
I keep it close don’t spread it round
Nothing ever gets me down
Even if you’re not around
Cause I’m a real man
You could never know me
Even if you tried
I’m a real man
You could never know me
Even if you tried
I’m a real man
You could never know me
Even if you tried
I try not to get involved
But if I must I’ll stake my claim
You think I’ve not been listening
But I’m hanging on your every phrase
I’m a combustible substance
Packed in a meat box
Mix my lack of good judgment
With my need for a detox
Add every waking moment
That we’ve spent together
Each unsaid confession
And my need for redemption
And you might find…
I might just blow
Cause I’m a real man

You could never know me
Even if you tried
I’m a real man
You could never know me
Even if you tried
I’m a combustible substance
Packed in a meat box
Mix my lack of good judgment
With my need for a detox
Add every waking moment
That we’ve spent together
Each unsaid confession
And my need for redemption
Cause I’m a real man
You could never know me
Even if you tried
I’m a real man
You could never know me
Even if you tri-tried
