[Verse 1]
You don't have to be blind
To be in the dark
You don't have to be weak, oh no
To get a broken heart
Oh but you to got to be a man
Do what a man is supposed to do
Oooh, refuse to give up now
See all the trials and tribulations through
If you can do all these things
You know what?
You're sure enough up tight
[Verse 2]
You don't have to be a king
To sit up on a throne
You don't have to be an angel
To know right from wrong
Oh but you to got to be a man
Do what a man is supposed to do
Oooh, refuse to give up now
See all the trials and tribulations through
If you can do all these things
You know what?
You're sure enough up tight
[Verse 3]
Don't have to be rich and have three or four cars
You don't have to be a doctor, oh no
Or a famous movie star
Oh but you got to be a man
And do what a man is supposed to do
Oooh, refuse to give up now
See all the trials and tribulations through
If you can do all these things
You know what?
You're sure enough up tight
Sure enough up tight
No, you don't have to be a doctor, oh no
No but yoo got to be a man
Ooh-ooh
You Got To Be A Man was written by Little Beaver & Frank Williams.
