lyrics

/// A dangerous man decides to adjust his temper, one way or the other ///

Couldn't kill you if I tried
And god knows I've tried
You know a man like me is desperate to
But I can't stay mad at you

Make no mistake
Or something's gonna break
But every day I get this changing point of view
Then I can't stay mad at you

I'm trying to be a bigger man

I used to be real mean
A lout, a libertine
I believed in my volition, I still do
Yet I can't stay mad at you

Your average guy
Bleeds like cherry pie
And you have got a beauty in you too
I just can't stay mad at you

I'm trying to be a bigger man

I'm explaining all the shaking in your hands
You speak in tics that I don't care to understand
I make suggestions, I would never make demands
What kind of man would I be, what kind of man?

It's hard to complain
But I think I'll find a way
You'd make me feel I'm strong enough for two
Now I can't stay mad at you

I'm trying to be a bigger man
