take it like a man

daddy told me a man must be strong

and hold what he feels inside

women want heroes with nerves made of steel

sittin' tall on the white horse they ride. so

i won't cry when you say goodbye

i'll just let you go

i'll stick to my guns

like father like son. i'll take it like a man

and watch you walk away

i'll take it like a man

you'll never know i feel the blow

i should get down on my knees

but i was raised to take a stand

hide my tears and take it like a man. daddy told me don't ever show pain

'cause a real man will never give in

but the lessons he taught me just get in the way

with the threads of our love wearing thin. the family tradition

taught me to be proud

but what good is pride

if it kills me inside to. take it like a man

and watch you walk away

i'll take it like a man

you'll never know i feel the blow

i should get down on my knees

but i was raised to take a stand

hide my tears and take it like a man. i'd get down on my knees

but i was raised to take a stand

hide my tears and take it like a man.
