Man of the World by Marc Cohn Lyrics

I want to be a man of the world
With blood in my veins and a hurt in my heart
Out in the street with the noise and the dirt
And the ones still looking for a brand new start

Oh I've been sleeping far too long
Hiding out in a palace of gold
Show me one thing before I'm gone
That can't be bought and can't be sold

Show me how to come alive
Show me how to make you mine

'Cause if you'd only be my girl
I could be a man of the world
Then I could be a man of the world
