I’m Just A Man is a heartfelt jazz ballad that explores the raw vulnerability hidden behind traditional ideas of masculine strength. The narrator reflects on a long-term relationship where his partner has always seen him as the strong, unwavering one. In reality, he struggles with fading confidence, emotional fragility, and the pressure of never being able to show weakness or cry.

I’m Just A Man lyrics
We been together since the start
We promised we’d never part
It’s hard to keep on keeping on
When all my confidence is gone

I’m just a man
I can’t say why
You never see me cry
You think I’m strong
I’m telling you you’re wrong
I need you by my side
I need you by my side cause

I know you’re there
I’m hoping that you care
But how I’m wrong
You’re the one
You’re the one who is strong, for

I’m just a man
I can’t say why
You never see me cry
You think I’m strong
I’m telling you you’re wrong
I need you by my side
I need you by my side

I was born the way i am
I was raised to be a man
I can’t be as true as you
I try no matter what i do
I’ll never find perfection
All I can offer is affection

I’m just a man
I can’t stand
On my own
Take my hand
Understand
Don’t leave me alone
I’m just a man
I can’t stand
On my own
Take my hand
Understand
Don’t leave me alone
