Take It Like a Man

Boy meets girl, it's a delicate thing
So much time spent wonderin'
If what you see is what you get
I keep lookin' for a friend and a lover
When I find one, he ain't the other
Sometimes, I just wanna quit

One wants a maid, one needs his mother
They either want space or they wanna smother me
And my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carryin' on
True to a promise, I can write in stone
Take it like a man who knows about love
Every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man

I met somebody the other night
I started thinkin' he was Mr. Right, wrong
I might've never known
If a friend hadn't brought it to my attention
"He's got a wife he forgot to mention
Girl, leave that fool alone"

Well, I keep hopin' and tellin' myself
Somewhere there's one good one left
'Cause my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carryin' on
True to a promise, I can write in stone
And take it like a man who knows about love
And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man

And take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carryin' on
True to a promise, I can write in stone
And take it like a man who knows about love
And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man (take it like a man)
And take it like a man (oh yeah)

Well, honey, if you want my heart, you gotta take it like a man
And take it like a man (take it like a man)
