Lyrics

I'm a Man I'm a Boy

Do you ever wonder to yourself

If you're a man or a boy

I sometimes wonder

But then again I don't really care

Cos I know what I am

That's the way I want to stay

I'm a man I'm a boy

I'm a man I'm a boy

I don't really give a damn

I don't care what I am

Looking in the mirror saying who are you

Looking in the mirror thinking what to do

What to do

What to do

I'm a man I'm a boy

I'm a man I'm a boy

I don't really give a damn

I don't care what I am

Everyone keeps saying who are you

Who am I who are you

Who am I

I am you

I'm a man I'm a boy

I'm a man I'm a boy

I don't really give a damn

I don't care what I am

Nobody really cares who you are

Nobody cares who you are

Who you are

Who you are

I'm a man I'm a boy

I'm a man I'm a boy

I don't really give a damn

I don't care what I am

I don't know what I am
