I'm a fighter and a thief
Of all the hearts that I can
And every moment that she sleeps
My mind goes wandering
And all the times she's insecure
I know i've played the upper hand
After all that's what it takes
What it takes to be a man
♪
And i'm sure i hold the reins
I control her downpour
So come on grey clouds
What you waiting for?
Her sunshine smile
Is so juvenile
I'll do whatever i can
What i can to be a man
♪
I may not use force
But i'll break her down
With no remorse
My words drown her out
And i hide behind
This charming game
After all that's what it takes
What it takes to be a man
What it takes to be a man
