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
When a man is a man
He doesn't act to a plan
He don't have to perform like John Wayne in some B-feature flick
iaman
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
G D C | G D C (intro pattern)
I know a man who's a man
Can't you sometimes crack a smile
Do you think if you did, we would run and tell
I know one day your big villian 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's just another part
When a man is a man
And he drinks 'til he's canned
He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we won't ask the price
man is a man
He can fall, he can stand
We won't love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice
I know a man who's a man
Every one of us is looking for fame
He's a looker
He's a dresser
He's a genius under pressure
I know a man who could tighten your rein
He's a father
He's a brother
He's a rocker
He's a lover
He's a man, he's a man
He doesn't act to a plan
He don't have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick
man is a man
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of apprearing insane if he can't break a brick
Be a man who's a man
