I'm the Man Lyrics

Good evening young man do you know who I am
From the look on your face I think you may
You know my wife much too well you've made my life a living hell
Now I'm the man who comes to stand in your way
All the blame is not on you this kinda game always takes two
But God helps us if you don't hear what I say this very day
I don't like your cheatin' plans you'd better listen while you can
Cause I'm the man who comes to stand in your way

I must have failed her somehow but I won't fail her now
All that matters is that she's come back to stay
So young man I beg of you don't make me do what I can't to do
Cause I'm the man who comes to stand in your way
I'm gonna keep her no matter what she's my wife she's all I've got
And before I lose her love I'll see you kid and laid away
So I'm warnin' you young man but I won't warn you again
Cause I'm the man who comes to stand in your way

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.
