Analysis of The Man in Me
I want to be a supermodel.
I want to be a hero.
I want to be an icon.
I want to be a measuring stick.
I want to be the jackass.
I want to hold the key.
I want get over fears.
I want to be scared.
I want to send flowers.
I want to help children.
I want to love my family.
I want to make others comfortable.
I want to tell you to go screw.
I want to get righteously drunk.
I want to take unabashedly.
I want to dominate.
I want to see the humor in everything.
I want to create.
I want you to see me.
I want to be human.
