[Verse 1]
Well, I'll be on my way
This is what she told me, told me
That I've got too much on my plate
But baby, you don't know me, know me
So why am I afraid
To be the one who asks the questions? I'm looking for direction
Was sorta hoping you'd explain
How to be the man that you were looking

[Chorus]
The man you were looking for
How to be the man that you were looking for

[Verse 2]
I think you thought this was a game
But the rules are there for breaking, breaking
So I guess I am to blame
That's why my heart is aching, aching
While my body's numb
I'll continue looking for the answer, your love is like a cancer
And I hope it's not too late
To be the man that you were looking

[Chorus]
The man you were looking for
How to be the man that you were looking for
How to be the man that you were looking for
[Bridge]
Running, always running
Away
And all I need is for you to stay
Running, always running
Away
And all I need is for you to say

[Chorus]
That I'm the man that you been looking for
Gonna be the man that you've been looking for
How to be the man that you've been looking for
How to be the man that you've been looking for
How to be the man that you've been looking for
