Be a Man Songtext
von Soul II Soul

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)
Being a man, you′ve got to try
(Being a man)
Being a man is a reason why, woo

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
Heyyy!

Won′t you try (being a man)
Being a man, being a man
Being a man (being a man) oh yeah
Being a man (being a man)
You know you gotta try (being a man)

I know it ain′t easy, baby, oh yeah (being a man)
Be a man, my baby
Please (being a man)
Won't you be a man? A man
