Take It Like a Man

Boy meets girl it's a delicate thing
So much time spent wondering
If what you see is what you get
I keep looking for a friend and a lover

When I find one he ain't the other
Sometimes, I just want to quit
One wants a maid one needs his mother
They either want space or they want to smother me
And my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
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

I met somebody the other night
Started thinking he was Mr. Right
Wrong, I might have 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
I keep hoping and telling 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 carrying on
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
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

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
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
Well honey if you want my heart you gotta
Take it like a man
Take it like a man
