Take It Like A Man

Boy meets girl
It's a delicate thing
So much time spent wondering
If what you see is what you get
I keep looking for a friend and a lover
When I find one
He ain't the other

Sometimes I just wanna quit
One wants a maid
One needs his mother
They either want space or they wanna smother me
And my poor ol' heart needs somebody who can

Take it like a man
Steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can write in stone

Take it like a man
Who knows about love
And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart
Take it like a man

I met somebody the other night
Started thinking he was Mr. right.... wrong
I might have never known
If a friend hadn't brought it to my attention
He's got a wife he forgot to mention
Girl, leave that fool alone

I keep hoping and telling myself
Somewhere there's one good one left
'Cause my poor heart needs somebody who can

Take it like a man
Steady & strong
Not a lot of fuss & carrying on
True to a promise I can write in stone

Take it like a man
Who knows about love
And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart
Take it like a man

Take it like a man
Steady & strong
Not a lot of fuss & carrying on
True to a promise I can write in stone

Take it like a man
Who knows about love
And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart
Take it like a man

Take it like a man
Honey, if ya want my heart
You gotta take it like a man

Take it like a man (fades out)
