Lyrics

When I was just a boy, no more than 2 or 3
I dreamed of what i'd someday grow up to be
a fireman or an astronaut, maybe the president
but all i'll ever be is a man
God knew that i'll i'd ever be was a man
Now I just want a woman who'll fulfill my every need
When I get down and out, she's down and out with me
She walks along beside me when the road is hard to stand
and all i'll ever be is a man
she knows that all i'll ever be is a man

Ever since I was a little bitty girl
all I ever wanted was a perfect world
with my mom and dad and rainbows
chasing shadows in the sun
all i'll ever be is a woman

Every night I pray for a man to be true
to hold me close to his heart
and whisper "i love you"
he'll always bring me flowers
and always hold my hand
all i'll ever be is woman

I am a woman
and i am a man
all i ever want to do is give you all i can
I'll wear your wedding ring
and beside you i will stand
but all i'll ever be is a man
all i'll ever be is a woman
all i'll ever be is your man
all i'll ever be is a woman
all i'll ever be is your man/woman
