Tell me what it takes to be a man
Should I be stronger than I am
Should I wipe away the tears I cry
always learn to hide my gentle side
If this is what it takes to be a man
I guess you’re stronger than I am
I wanna let the tears flow when I cry
Let them see my warm and gentle side
Trying gets me so confused
And twisted up inside
Torn and twisted
They keep tearing at me piece by piece
Then they twist what’s left of me
I’m torn and twisted
Now I don’t know who I am
Or what I’m meant to be
They want to tell me how to be a man
Other peoples take on who I am
They don’t know the pain I feel inside
How I bottle up the tears I hide
Torn and twisted
They keep tearing at me piece by piece
Then they twist whats left of me
I’m torn and twisted
Now I don’t know who I am
Or what I’m meant to be
Torn and twisted
So tell me what it takes to be a man
Should I be stronger than I am
Should I learn to hide my gentle side
always wipe away the tears I cry
Should I be stronger than I am
Should I wipe away the tears I cry
always learn to hide my gentle side
If this is what it takes to be a man
I guess you’re stronger than I am
I wanna let the tears flow when I cry
Let them see my warm and gentle side
Trying gets me so confused
And twisted up inside
Torn and twisted
They keep tearing at me piece by piece
Then they twist what’s left of me
I’m torn and twisted
Now I don’t know who I am
Or what I’m meant to be
They want to tell me how to be a man
Other peoples take on who I am
They don’t know the pain I feel inside
How I bottle up the tears I hide
Torn and twisted
They keep tearing at me piece by piece
Then they twist whats left of me
I’m torn and twisted
Now I don’t know who I am
Or what I’m meant to be
Torn and twisted
So tell me what it takes to be a man
Should I be stronger than I am
Should I learn to hide my gentle side
always wipe away the tears I cry
