  • God, I'm down here on my knees
    Cause it's the last place left to fall
    Beggin' for another chance
    If there's any chance at all
    That you might still be listenin'
    Lovin' and forgivin' guys like me

    I've spent my whole life gettin' it all wrong
    And I sure could use your help cause from now on

    I wanna be a good man
    A 'do like I should' man
    I wanna be the kind of man the mirror likes to see
    I wanna be a strong man
    And admit that I was wrong, man
    God I'm asking you to come change me
    To the man I wanna be

    There's anyway for her and me to make another start
    Could you see what you could do
    To put some love back in her heart
    Cause' it going to take a miracle
    After all I've done to really make her see

    That I wanna be a stay man
    I wanna be a great man
    I wanna be the kind of man that she sees in her dreams
    God, I wanna be your man
    And I wanna be her man
    God, I only hope she still believes
    In the man I wanna be

    Well, I know this late at night that talk is cheap
    Lord, don't give up on me

    I wanna be a givin' man
    I wanna really start livin' man
    God, I'm asking you to come change me
    To the man I wanna be Writer/s: Brett Cornelius, Tim Nichols
