Tell Me What Makes a Man Lyrics by John Owen-Jones

Love on 42nd Street

2014

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I've always known your love would not come free
But I still paid the price, I guess the fool was me
Tell me, woman, was it all for show?
You paid the devil, who took every last piece of my soul!
[Pre-Chorus]
Walked through fire for you
Left the life I knew
Won't you tell me the truth?
Is this man now dead to you?
[Chorus]
So tell me what makes a man alive?
What makes a change in his life?
So tell me what makes you so unsure?
What made this love so impure?
Tell me what makes a man
Tell me what makes a man
[Verse 2]
Now you've left me with a love that you've disowned
In shattered pieces, empty and alone
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
Was it just my turn to lose?
Wasn't I man enough for you?
[Chorus]
So tell me what makes a man alive?
What makes a change in his life?
So tell me what makes you so unsure?
What made this love so impure?
Tell me what makes a man
Tell me what makes a man
Tell me what makes a man!
