The Man I Am
(Jeff DeVillez)
Copyright 1980 World Media Artists Music-ASCAP
from the Grupo Caoba sessions for Discos Sincro
in Guatemala City,Central America

Never was much of a showman
A dancer or teller of lies
You'll need to excuse my not knowing
It took me awhile to realize

Don't let it affect you 'cause
It's just a silly turn of fate
Something that happens that's
harder than Hell to relate,and

I don't wanna be a star anymore
I'd rather be incognito
I can't be the man I was before
Bein the man I am

No matter where you once were before
And all that you wished to be Oh Lord!
I can't really say I feel the same
Bein the man I am

You can take your limousine
Your hundred dollar French champagne
Your mirror lines of pure cocaine
And throw them away

I don't need a reason why
Excuses or an alibi
I don't know how to tell you why
Leave it as it lay

Repeat verse 1
