Maybe I'll be brave, but just not today.
Call me scared, but that's who I really am.
I could be just like you.

Excuse me, gentlemen,
What exactly does it mean to be a man?
Excuse me, kind gentlemen,
Can you tell me what it means to be a man?

Call me sad, but how would you ever know?
Maybe you'll be there, but just not today.
Pretend I'm dead, so you can go on living.
I could be just like you.

Excuse me, gentlemen,
What exactly does it mean to be a man?
Excuse me, kind gentlemen,
Can you tell me what it means to be a man?

(I just want to be a man)

A real grown up cowboy,
Cause this what you made me be,
A straight up gunslinger.
I won't be back baby.

(Yeah, you know it I won't be back again.) [x6]

Excuse me, gentlemen,
What exactly does it mean to be a man?
Excuse me, kind gentlemen,
Can you tell me what it means to be a man?
Excuse me, excuse me,
Can you tell, can you tell me what it means to be...

Should I be just like you? [x7]
