Just Like A Man Songtext
von Del Amitri

I still don′t believe it
How much we lied
Last night you made it with him
Now I'm supposed to be dignified
Just like a man

Well, I spend my nighttimes drinking
And you spend your days in bed
And I guess it′s up to us to choose
The methods by which we forget

And just like a man he holds you gently
And just like a man he strokes your hair
And just like a man I still pretend that I'm
Immune to the whole affair

But I wanna die, I wanna cry
I wanna tell you that I was wrong
Yeah, I wanna die, I wanna cry
But it's too late, so I soldier on
Just like a man


I don′t believe it
You were easy to leave but now
I do my best to relieve it
In the only way that I know how
Just like a man

And I don′t wanna possess you
And I don't wanna take his place
But I don′t wanna see my last few pleasures
Written all over his face

And just like a man he holds you gently
And just like a man he strokes your hair
And just like a man I still pretend that I'm
Immune to the whole affair

But I wanna die, I wanna cry
I wanna tell you that I was wrong
Yeah, I wanna die, I wanna cry
But it′s too late, so I soldier on
Just like a man

Ain't that just like a man?
Just like a man
Ain′t that just like a man?


And I have something to tell you but it doesn't matter now
I'll stick to small talk and leave the little bits of flattery to him
And I could call you, but why would I bother to?
You might not be in, or he might misunderstand
Just like a man

But I wanna die, I wanna cry
I wanna tell you that I was wrong
Yeah, I wanna die, I wanna cry
But it′s too late, so I soldier on

Yeah, I wanna die, I wanna cry
I wanna tell you that I was wrong
Yeah, I wanna die, I wanna cry
But it′s too late, so ain't that just like a man?
