Prem Byrne - Be A Man Lyrics

He said they'd be sizing me up
And taking my stuff
And if I wanna be like him
I gotta be tough
Learn to hide
All your cryin
Don't be a Mama's Boy
Where's your pride
Show the woman who's the one who wears the pants
Remember son guys don't ever dance
Swallow all your pain and never show your feelings, 'cause
A man's gotta be strong and silent
A real man solves his problems with violence
Boy
You gotta be a man
Son if you want me to be proud of you
Better listen up 'cause I'm tellin' the truth
Boy
You gotta be a man
So I did my best
To pass the test
And hide away the lonely hurting
In my chest
I did what he said
Took girls to bed
If they'd wanna get close
I'd run instead
Now I'm sitting here alone without a friend
I hurt a lot of people gotta make amends
I call up the man who gave me life
But he's a broken record saying that
A man's gotta be strong and silent
A real man solves his problems with violence
Boy
You gotta be a man
Son if you want me to be proud of you
Better listen up 'cause I'm tellin' the truth
Boy
You gotta be a man
Man
I was talking to a couple of guys last night
We were wishing that our fathers had raised us right
And didn't teach us that we had too keep it all inside
Oh
Maybe then the world today would be in better shape
And people wouldn't be afraid
If our fathers didn't say
That a man's gotta be strong and silent
A real man solves his problems with violence
Boy
You gotta be a man
Son if you want me to be proud of you
Better listen up 'cause I'm tellin' the truth
Boy
You gotta be a man (you gotta be a man)
A man's gotta be strong and silent (strong and silent)
A real man solves his problems with violence
Boy
You gotta be a man (you gotta be a man)
You gotta be a man (you gotta be a man)
You gotta be a man (be a man)
You gotta be a man
