Be A Man

He don't buy wine
He just drinks mine
Bills ain't paid
Cuz he sleeps all day
I work to get by
He lives to get high
And it sure ain't bliss
Living like this

Just a boy trying to be my man
Do you really think you can
Change my heart, change my mind
Try to turn back time
It's not hard to understand
Just be a man

Well you might have thought
That you wouldn't get caught
But the story's been told
And it's tired and old
Now you want me back
Well to hell with that
I ain't got no time
For your shuck and jive

Just a boy trying to be my man
Do you really think you can
Change my heart, change my mind
Try to turn back time
It's not hard to understand
Just be a man
Just be a man

I won't settle for second best
But you put my patience to the test
I've got no more time, clean up your mess
Baby you have got to give it a rest

Just a boy trying to be my man
Do you really think you can
Change my heart, change my mind
Try to turn back time
It's not hard to understand
Just be a man
Just be a man
Just be a man
Just be, just be a man
