Better With a Man Lyrics by A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder Company

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (Original Broadway Cast)

2014

HENRY:
When a fellow needs a little helping hand
Who'll be there? It's almost guaranteed
No one else could ever really understand
Only another man knows what you need
And when a man has fallen down upon his knees
In such a moment who'd be better than
Someone who's self-controlled
Someone who's strong and bold
Someone as good as gold
It's better with a man
MONTY:
Better with a man
HENRY:
(spoken) Then you agree, my friend?
MONTY:
(spoken) Indeed, I do!
When a man is lonely he can always find
Another man who's feeling just the same
Drink will help you get your troubles off your mind
You'll both be blind before you know his name
And in that rousing climax when your horse comes in
Who will cheer as loudly as he can?
Only a man can see
The meaning of victory
Oh, the camaraderie
It's better with a man
HENRY:
It's better with a man
MONTY:
Women have much to recommend
HENRY:
Women have much to recommend
Lord knows I've had my share
HENRY & MONTY:
But when a fellow needs a friend...
HENRY:
That's a totally different affair
MONTY:
Women are soft against your skin
They're awfully nice to nestle with
HENRY:
But when the sport is masculine-
HENRY & MONTY:
You need a man to wrestle with!
HENRY:
Gentlemen have secrets they will never tell
MONTY:
Gentlemen have secrets they will never tell
HENRY:
No, they will never tell
HENRY & MONTY:
They'll never tell their wives
HENRY:
Married men know there are things you must not say
HENRY & MONTY:
Discretion is the only way
That love survives
HENRY:
Men are always there
MONTY:
Men are always there
HENRY:
Always there to share
MONTY:
Always there to share
And take good care
As mates and brothers
HENRY:
Nothing can compare
For instance
HENRY & MONTY:
Take a look at us
It's been ever thus
Since boarding school began
HENRY:
Women are too complex
MONTY:
Women too often vex
HENRY & MONTY:
Men are a simpler sex
HENRY:
It's better with a man
MONTY:
Better with a man
HENRY:
Better with a man
HENRY & MONTY:
Better with a man!
(spoken) Bottoms up!
