Man Up

Did you step outside
To find the world had decided your way?
Through the dark and the day?
And did you realize
That you crying
Was you trying
Was you lying
Was you lost when they say

"You don't get to tie your hair up
Or wear a flower"
"Don't get to mess with makeup
Or hum in the shower"
"Don't get to sling a necklace or ring
Or sing a delicate song"
"No you don't get to tie your hair up
or wear a flower"
"Don't get to mess with makeup
Or hum in the shower"
"Don't get to sling a necklace or ring
Or sing a delicate song"

And you don't get to say "that's wrong"
No, You'd better "man up; move along"
And goodness forbid you cry
No then they hardly even count you a "guy"

'Cause guys are big and bruised
And they buy big cars
Don't wear masks at bars
And they think that the stars
Were only lit up for them
To be proud and pushy
And loud, yet shush-y
And grab 'em by the (Shush)
Oh they would

'Cause I stepped outside
To find the world had decided what's good
What we shouldn't and should
But now I realize
That me crying
Was me trying
Was me lying
Was me misunderstood

So I'm'onna tie my hair up
And wear a flower
And I'm'onna mess with makeup
And hum in the shower
And I'm'onna sling a necklace and ring
And sing a delicate song
Yeah I'm'onna tie my hair up
And wear a flower
And I'm'onna mess with makeup
And hum in the shower
And I'm'onna sling a necklace and ring
And sing a delicate song

And you won't get to say "that's wrong"
That I won't "man up; move along"
'Cause some days all I do is cry
And if that disqualifies me, then I

Will sing to the sky
'Cause I hate big cars
And I've worked at bars
And I've got plenty of scars
Without you toppling more on
So be cold and cruel
'Til You're old and cool
We'll see who's cleaning who's pool
In ten more trips 'round the sun

'Cause I stepped outside
To find the world had decided what's fun
Where to walk; where to run
But now I realize
That me crying
Was me trying
Was me lying
Was me pummeled and numb

So I'm'onna tie my hair up
And wear a flower
And I'm'onna mess with makeup
And hum in the shower
And I'm'onna sling a necklace and ring
And sing a delicate song
Yeah I'm'onna tie my hair up
And wear a flower
And I'm'onna mess with makeup
And hum in the shower
And I'm'onna sling a necklace and ring
And sing a delicate song

And you won't get to say "that's wrong"
That I won't "man up; move along"
'Cause some days all I do is cry
And if that disqualifies me, then I

Will sing to the sky
And tie my hair up
And wear a flower
And I'm'onna mess with makeup
And hum in the shower
And I'm'onna sling a necklace and ring
And sing a delicate song
Yeah I'm'onna tie my hair up
And wear a flower
And I'm'onna mess with makeup
And hum in the shower
And I'm'onna sling a necklace and ring
And sing a delicate song

And you won't get to say "that's wrong"
That I won't "man up"
Move along
