A Man Is A Man Lyrics

 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
 A man is a man
 When he can offer his hand
 Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
 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
 A 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 rock
 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
 A 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
