What A Man Should Do*

He wears his suit and tie

A straight back, his head up high

Just like his father told him to

He smiles and tells his jokes

So none of his friends will know

What he really has been going through

That's what a man should do

That's what a man should do

No tears when he gets bruised

That's what a man should do

He keeps his secrets safe

Locked up so far away

So he doesn't have to face the truth

He bears a heavy cross

A burden upon his heart

He tells himself true love is just for fools

'Cause that's what a man should do

That's what a man should do

No tears when he gets bruised

That's what a man should do

That's what a man should do

That's what a man should do

Act tough and play it cool

That's what a man should do

Even when his heart is breaking

Even when his heart is breaking

He wears his suit and tie

A straight back, his head up high

Just like his father told him to

'Cause that's what a man should do

That's what a man should do

No tears when he gets bruised

That's what a man should do
