  1.                               M A N
  2.                                 
  3.                                 
  4.                                 
  5.                 When on paper,    but only then,
  6.                    might I be soft and gentle
  7.                      then I might even cry.
  8.                                 
  9.                                FOR
  10.                             On  paper
  11.                       no one knows who I am
  12.                   they don't even know my name.
  13.                                 
  14.                                SO
  15.                 Should you see me out in a crowd,
  16.                    you'll see me with a smile.
  17.         You'll see the strength and you'll see the pride,
  18.                even the other things behind which
  19.                              I hide.
  20.                                 
  21.                                BUT
  22.                  You'll never see me cry: you'll
  23.                  never see my loneliness or know
  24.                          I seek to hide.
  25.                For in the crowded streets of life
  26.                       I'm just a passer-by.
  27.                                 
  28.             I'm so afraid that I'll be shamed should
  29.                        someone see me cry
  30.                 I'm so afraid that I'll be shamed
  31.                     Shoot !  I'd sooner die.
  32.                                 
  33.                So know you now and know you this:
  34.                 with my temper I am rather quick.
  35.                     I won't wait for a minute
  36.                     so don't ask for an hour.
  37.                                 
  38.                     And hell, I'd rather skip
  39.                        most of my showers
  40.                                 
  41.                                YET
  42.                 Live with me if that you choose.
  43.                                 
  44.                               KNOW
  45.                my name.  It's hypocrite or coward
  46.                  but then I'm also known as man
  47.                                 
  48.                                 
  49.
