Michael Robert McGuire Who I Wanna Be lyrics

All I ever needed was a woman
To love me like no other ever could
A straight-walkin', no loose-talkin' lover
To want me like no other ever would

But somehow I was led to you
And you have played me for your fool
And hurt me like no woman ever should
Every night I'm fallin' asleep cryin'
Each morning wakin' up so tired of tryin'

Now I'm a man of understanding
Why must you be so demanding
That just won't jive with me- won't stick around to see
Lately I've been hearin' voices
Telling me of other choices
Like walkin' out that door and breakin' free
Like leaving you behind so I can be
Who I wanna be

You've been pullin' that wool right over my eyes
But don't you take me for no blind man
I gave my all, still you weren't satisfied
You couldn't even be a decent friend

This wasted time you put me through
Payback is long overdue
And you'll get yours when this comes to an end

This love you're tryin' to sell me, I ain't buyin'
The flame that we once had is surely dyin'

Now I'm a man of understanding
Why must you be so demanding
That just won't jive with me- won't stick around to see
Lately I've been hearin' voices
Telling me of other choices
Like walkin' out that door and breakin' free
Like leaving you behind so I can be
Who I wanna be

Your sad story's some strange twist of fate
If you think I'll change my mind now
You're a too little, too little...
Much too late

Now I'm a man of understanding
Why must you be so demanding
That just won't jive with me- won't stick around to see
Lately I've been hearin' voices
Telling me of other choices
Like walkin' out that door and breakin' free
Like leaving you behind so I can be
Who I wanna be
