i can't take it like a man

girl

i've got a little message for you

i want you to take heed

listen it says a

men

they don't cry to drive your eyes

or to make a tear drop

oh no

and i am not weepin' to keep from sleepin'

girl

i wish you could stop

i was your man

a mountain of rag

you came along to change me inside

there's not a man

ain't no wired up toy

but i am still hangin' around for you to enjoy

i can't take it like a man

i can't take it like a man

i am headin' nowhere

just as fast as i can

i can't take it like a man

i can't make it like a man

i need your lovin' in the palm of my hand

hearts don't break

to take the ache

that they're going through

oh no

if you're mistaken

it might weaken you because i love you

oh love

if you care

won't you please hear it back

keep me on the right track

roll me some rope

don't let me drown

please have a heart

this is my third time down

i can't take it like a man

i can't take it like a man

i am gettin' nowhere

just as fast as i can

i can't take it like a man

i can't make it like a man

i need your lovin' in the palm of my hand

i can't take it

won't you help me make it?

i wanna take it

i can't take it

oh

i can't take it like a man

i can't make it like a man

i need your lovin' in the palm of my hand

i can't take it

oh

i can't take it
