Be A Man

BE A MAN

Oh! What I'd like, and what I'll get 
Ain't ever quite the what you guessed 
The way I do, and aim to be 
Might not impress, might not redeem 

But who's gonna take a stand 
On what I bear with pain 
I can't expect to breathe relief when it's back to back to back, Oh no! 
So I'm gonna think again 
About the players and the game 
You know the rules have just been changed 
Be the champ but not the same 

Be a man 
No backing down or skirting round or taking flight Oooh! 
Stand up and do it right 
I'm not a creature of the night 
I straighten up my back and fight 
Just like a man 

They think it's me, I know it's you 
It's in those eyes, That ain't ever been blue 
The chance is love, not lived enough 
The loss is love, not felt enough 

But who's gonna take a stand... 

Be a man 
No backing down or skirting round or taking flight Oooh! 
Stand up and do it right 
I'm not a creature of the night 
I straighten up my back and fight Just like a man
