Just Like A Man

[Verse 1]
Every time
I look at you I want to cry
But you don't understand
I've been taught to be a man
So you won't see me cry
​'Cause I've been taught to try
And keep the tears inside a secret
And just died

Just like a man

[Verse 2]
The other day
You flew into my arms it seems and bringing love
Just like you bring it to my dreams
You wanted me to stay
I found it hard to say
That daddy can't be true with mommy anymore

Just like a man

[Verse 3]
A teddy bear
And broken teacup for bribe
Oh little four-year-old
Just doesn't keep the heart inside
Missing love today
Daddy's gone away
But he's been trained to keep it all inside and hide
He's learned to play it cool and not get riled
Even though he's hurt
Just like a child

Just like a man

[Verse 4]

And every time
I look at you I want to cry
But you don't understand
I've been taught to be a man
And run away from tears
And cultivate the fears
Of people everywhere pretending it's just fine
To laugh and play the game but draw the line
And keep the sadness
Hidden deep
​'Cause it's not time

Just like a man

[Outro]
