you'd like to think i had it easy
at times i think you're right but then i
take a look around
and see your eyes on me
it's times i think i have it easy
until i close my eyes and see
this lock in my box
lets you turn the key
when you want to hear a melody
i could never be the apple of your eye
the story of your life is whats inside
i go thru stages when i feel this melody
this song and dance is the way of life for me

you'd like to think i have it easy
at times i think you're right but then i
take a look around
and see the grass is always greener
on the other side

this lock in my box
lets you turn the key
when you want to hear a melody
but i can never be
the apple of your eye
the story of your life
is whats inside
and i could never be
the one who saved your day
i'm just the man in the music box
it's nothing special
it's nothing special
it's nothing special
i'm just the man in the music box
and i will never be...
your super hero...
i'm just the man in the music box
