This might surpGrise you, but I am taller than the average Dheight of Emman.
And I would like to thank the males Dof jaCpan, who keep the averDage down.
This might surpGrise you, but I am twice the age of the Daverage Emteen.
And though I'm not exactly sure just Dwhat that mCeans, I think it's Dinteresting.
[Chorus]
'Cause I have Galways been a little guy,
A Dlittle pale, a little shy,
At Emtimes not sure exactly why I D7am.
And it Gtook me just a little while,
A Dlittle love, a little smile,
To Emrealize that's not what makes a Amman.
And I'm Cthankful that you Dlove me as I Gam.
This might surGprise you, but on the phone they often think that DI'm a Emgirl.
And when I tell them that in fact I Dam a Cguy, they say "I'm sorDry ma'am."
That might surGprise you, but there was a time when I actDually Emcared
about the big and small and how I Dmight comCpare. But love has Dset me free.
[Chorus]
'Cause I have Galways been a little guy,
A Dlittle pale, a little shy,
At Emtimes not sure exactly why I D7am.
And it Gtook me just a little while,
A Dlittle love, a little smile,
To Emrealize that's not what makes a Amman.
And I'm Cthankful that you Dlove me as I Gam.D  Em  
[Bridge]
EmIt's not so bad being Amsmall
EmUnless you're playing basketDball. So I don't.
'Cause I have Galways been a little guy,
A Dlittle pale, a little shy,
At Emtimes not sure exactly why I D7am.
And it Gtook me just a little while,
A Dlittle love, a little smile,
To Emrealize that's not what makes a Amman.
'Cause I have Galways been a little guy,
A Dlittle pale, a little shy,
At Emtimes not sure exactly why I Dam.
And it Gtook me just a little while,
A Dlittle love, a little smile,
To Emrealize that's not what makes a Amman.
And I'm Emthankful that you love me as I Amam.
And I'm thEmankful that God Dloves me as I Gam.
