I Can't Take It Like A Man

Girl, I've got a little message for you

I want you to take heed

Listen it says a

Men, they don't cry to drive your eyes

Or to make a tear drop, oh no

And I am not weepin' to keep from sleepin'

Girl, I wish you could stop

I was your man, a mountain of rag

You came along to change me inside

There's not a man, ain't no wired up toy

But I am still hangin' around for you to enjoy

I can't take it like a man

I can't take it like a man

I am headin' nowhere, just as fast as I can

I can't take it like a man

I can't make it like a man

I need your lovin' in the palm of my hand

Hearts don't break, to take the ache

That they're going through, oh no

If you're mistaken

It might weaken you because I love you

Oh love, if you care

Won't you please hear it back

Keep me on the right track

Roll me some rope, don't let me drown

Please have a heart, this is my third time down

I can't take it like a man

I can't take it like a man

I am gettin' nowhere, just as fast as I can

I can't take it like a man

I can't make it like a man

I need your lovin' in the palm of my hand

I can't take it, won't you help me make it?

I wanna take it, I can't take it

Oh, I can't take it like a man

I can't make it like a man

I need your lovin' in the palm of my hand

I can't take it

Oh, I can't take it
