A Man Is A Man

[Verse 1] You talk about crazy affairs You talk about your life as though it mattered You get attention 'cos you block the stairs Bragging about some bottles you have shattered Well I met a man who really lives He really does it all But what really matters is the heart he gives He makes your talk seem small [Chorus] When a man is a man He does not act to a plan He do not have to perform like John Wayne in some B feature flick A man is a man When he can offer his hand Not afraid of appearing insane if he cannot break a brick I know a man who's a man [Verse 2] Cannot you sometimes crack a smile Do you think if you did we would run and tell I know one day your big villain style Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell I know a man who was once like you But he opened his heart No one is really bad right through He is just another part [Chorus] When a man is a man And he drinks 'til he is canned He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we will not ask the price A man is a man He can fall he can stand We will not love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice I know a man who's a man [Bridge] Every one of us is looking for fame He is a looker He is a dresser He is a genius under pressure I know a man who could tighten your rein He is a father He is a brother He is a rock He is a lover [Outro] He is a man he is a man He does not act to a plan He do not have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick A man is a man When he can offer his hand Not afraid of appearing insane if he cannot break a brick Be a man who is a man
