Be A Man - 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 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
