The Man I Am Lyrics

I'm lying through my teeth
I can't express my grief
I haven't got the belief
I feel I've gone beneath

I can't help you 'cause I don't like the man I am
Uh huh
Oh yeah

The thought inside my head
Is making me see red
And I want to get ahead
But I want to be led

I can't love you 'cause I don't like the man I am.
Uh huh
Oh yeah

If I could only understand
The type of man I am
I don't believe I can
I never drew the plan

Well I can't love you 'cause I don't like the man I am
Uh huh
Oh yeah

Well I can't love you 'cause I don't like the man I am

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
