A Man is a Man — текст песни (Who, The)

You talk about crazy affairs
You talk about your life as though it mattered
You get attention `cos you block the stairs
Bragging about some bottles you have shattered

Well I met a man who really lives
He really does it all
But what really matters is the heart he gives
He makes your talk seem small

When a man is a man
He doesn`t act to a plan
He don`t have to perform like John Wayne in some B feature flick
A man is a man
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can`t break a brick
I know a man who`s a man

Can`t you sometimes crack a smile
Do you think if you did we would run and tell
I know one day your big villian style
Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell

I know a man who was once like you
But he opened his heart
No one is really bad right through
He`s just another part

When a man is a man
And he drinks `til he`s canned
He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we won`t ask the price
A man is a man
He can fall he can stand
We won`t love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice
I know a man who`s a man

Every one of us is looking for fame
He`s a looker
He`s a dresser
He`s a genius under pressure
I know a man who could tighten your rein
He`s a father
He`s a brother
He`s a rock
He`s a lover

He`s a man he`s a man
He doesn`t act to a plan
He don`t have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick
A man is a man
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of apprearing insane if he can`t break a brick
Be a man who`s a man
