Just Like a Man Lyrics by Biff Rose

Children of Light

1969

[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 a 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
