You talk about crazy affairs
|
You talk about your life as though it mattered
|
You get attention 'cos you block the stairs
|
Bragging about some bottles you have shattered
|
|
Well I met a man who really lives
|
He really does it all
|
But what really matters is the heart he gives
|
He makes your talk seem small
|
|
When a man is a man
|
He doesn't act to a plan
|
He don't have to perform like John Wayne in some B feature flick
|
A man is a man
|
When he can offer his hand
|
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
|
I know a man who's a man
|
|
Can't you sometimes crack a smile
|
Do you think if you did we would run and tell
|
I know one day your big villian style
|
Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell
|
|
I know a man who was once like you
|
But he opened his heart
|
No one is really bad right through
|
He's just another part
|
|
When a man is a man
|
And he drinks 'til he's canned
|
He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we won't ask the price
|
A man is a man
|
He can fall he can stand
|
We won't love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice
|
I know a man who's a man
|
|
Every one of us is looking for fame
|
He's a looker
|
He's a dresser
|
He's a genius under pressure
|
I know a man who could tighten your rein
|
He's a father
|
He's a brother
|
He's a rock
|
He's a lover
|
|
He's a man he's a man
|
He doesn't act to a plan
|
He don't have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick
|
A man is a man
|
When he can offer his hand
|
Not afraid of apprearing insane if he can't break a brick
|
Be a man who's a man
|
