So much time spent wondering if
What you see is what you get
I keep looking for a friend and a lover
When I find one he ain''t the other
Sometimes, I just want to quit
One wants a maid one needs his mother
They either want space or they want to smother me
And my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can WRITE IN STONE
Take it like a man who knows about love
And every little things that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman''s heart
Take it like a man

I met somebody the other night
Started thinking he was Mr. Right..wrong
I might have never known
If a friend hadn''t brought it to my attention
He''s got a wife he forgot to mention
Girl, leave that fool alone
I keep hoping and telling myself
Somewhere there''s one good one left
''Cause my poor heart need somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can WRITE IN STONE
Take it like a man who knows about love
And every little things that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman''s heart
Take it like a man

Take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can WRITE IN STONE
Take it like a man who knows about love
And every little things that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman''s heart
Take it like a man
Take it like a man
Well honey if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Take it like a man
