Lyrics

Well a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
When a man's gotta do what he's got to
A man can't be fooled, can't be played, can't be schooled
Can't be made to follow rules they say he ought to
A man must provide for his family
Pave the way for success
A man must provide for his family
And ensure their happiness
I won't be duped, your young mother is confused
Do imagine she could use my soul
I won't let anybody stand in the way
Of the plans I've made, not anyone!
A man must engage his backbone
Stand up straight and strong
A man must engage his backbone
And right what has gone wrong
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
When a man's gotta do what he's got to
I won't let anybody stand in the way
Of the plans I have made
Not even you!
A man must protect his family
Shield them from all pain
A man must protect his family
And preserve his good name
