It Takes a Man Lyrics

She locked her fingers and bowed her head
She said I'm late, and I'm really scared
You can go but I hope you stay
I'm gonna keep it either way
Chorus:
In my daddy's El Camino, in her driveway in the rain
Staring through the windshield I could see my future change
And my heart hit like a hammer and my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby, it takes a man to raise a child
I laid my head down on the wheel
She said I know, I know, it don't seem real
She closed her eyes, but the tears flowed through
She said don't hate me for lovin you
Bridge:
Well I could not reassure her
I couldn't say what I had planned
I couldn't put three words together
us2
So I just took her hand
It takes a man
