Take It Like a Man

Boy meets girl

It's a delicate thing

So much time spent wondering

If what you see is what you get

I keep looking for a friend and a lover

When I find one

He ain't the other

Sometimes I just wanna quit

One wants a maid

One needs his mother

They either want space or they wanna smother me

And my poor ol' heart needs somebody who can

Take it like a man

Steady and strong

Not a lot of fuss and carrying on

True to a promise I can write in stone

Take it like a man

Who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of

Someone wise enough to understand

If you want this woman's heart

Take it like a man

I met somebody the other night

Started thinking he was Mr. right.... wrong

I might have never known

If a friend hadn't brought it to my attention

He's got a wife he forgot to mention

Girl, leave that fool alone

I keep hoping and telling myself

Somewhere there's one good one left

'Cause my poor heart needs somebody who can

Take it like a man

Steady & strong

Not a lot of fuss & carrying on

True to a promise I can write in stone

Take it like a man

Who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of

Someone wise enough to understand

If you want this woman's heart

Take it like a man

Take it like a man

Steady & strong

Not a lot of fuss & carrying on

True to a promise I can write in stone

Take it like a man

Who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of

Someone wise enough to understand

If you want this woman's heart

Take it like a man

Take it like a man

Honey, if ya want my heart

You gotta take it like a man

Take it like a man (fades out)
