Be A Man (Soul II Soul)

Being a man don't mean you have to fight for honor Being a man don't mean you got the right to all the All the things that make your eyes grow open wide Those things don't earn you true respect They are not a measure of your pride It takes more strength sometimes to turn and walk away When you feel like you have got to prove That you're a man and you don't play Being a man isn't easy so try to be a man Being a man isn't measured by your way with women I need a man who will stand by me through thick and thin 'Cause any boy can make a child and disappear And deny responsibilities, crying on that life ain't fair It isn't easy to stay on and raise a child But you took the time to make a baby Take the time to make a life Being a man isn't easy so try to be a man Won't you try, be a man Being a man you've got to try Being a man is a reason why Sometimes the things you've got to do They seem so wrong No one said that life was fair, we all got to carry on Being a man isn't easy so try to be a man Being a man Being a man Being a man Being a man Being a man Being a man
