My resistance is getting weaker, I just can't stand the pressure. I can't be any meeker, I've got to find me some other treasure. I need nothing to be a man, Because I was born a man. And I deserve the right, To live like any other man. My mind's in such a state, Sometimes it makes me sick. At times I've tried to hate, But I just don't know the trick. I need nothing to be a man, Because I was born a man. And I deserve the right, To feel like any other man Experience has taught me wisdom, Thank God I've got some life left. I'm getting out of serfdom, My soul has stand the test. I need nothing to be a man, Because I was born a man And I deserve the right, To be like any other man. Ooh like any other man. Just let me live like any ordinary man. I wanna, wanna, wanna live. Ooh, yeah, yeah.
