Be a Man Lyrics by Soul II Soul

Vol. V: Believe

0

Being a man don't mean you have to fight for honor
Being a man don't mean you got the right to all the
All the things that make your eyes grow open wide
Those things don't earn you true respect
They are not a measure of your pride
It takes more strength sometimes to turn and walk away
When you feel like you have got to prove
That you're a man and you don't play
Being a man isn't easy so try to be a man
Being a man isn't measured by your way with women
I need a man who will stand by me through thick and thin
'Cause any boy can make a child and disappear
And deny responsibilities, crying on that life ain't fair
It isn't easy to stay on and raise a child
But you took the time to make a baby
Take the time to make a life
Being a man isn't easy so try to be a man
Won't you try, be a man
Being a man you've got to try
Being a man is a reason why
Sometimes the things you've got to do
They seem so wrong
No one said that life was fair, we all got to carry on
Being a man isn't easy so try to be a man
Being a man
Being a man
Being a man
Being a man
Being a man
Being a man
