I’m a Man

[Verse 1]

Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes

Like cartoons from other people's lives

I start to wonder what it takes to be a man, mm

Well, I learned to drink and I learned to smoke

And I learned to tell a dirty joke

Oh, if that's all there is, then there's no point for me

[Chorus]

Oh, so please can I ask just why we're alive?

'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time

And if you hang around too long, you'll be a man

Tell me 'bout it

Your car can get up to a hundred and ten

You've nowhere to go, but you'll go there again

And nothing ever makes no difference to a man

[Verse 2]

So you stumble into town and hold your stomach in

Show them what you've got, though they've seen everything

Yeah, you're a beauty, but they've seen your type before

You've got no need, but still you want

So go and book that restaurant

The wine will flow and then you'll just fly away

[Chorus]

Oh, so please can I ask just why we're alive?

'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time

And if you hang around too long you'll be a man

Tell me 'bout it

Your car can go up to a hundred and ten

You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again

And nothing ever makes no difference to a man

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Oh, tell me 'bout it

And please can I ask just why we're alive?

'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time

And if you hang around too long you'll be a man

Oh tell, c'mon, tell me 'bout it

Your car can get up to a hundred and ten

You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again

And nothing ever makes no difference to a man

[Outro]

To a man

To a man

To a man

That's what I am
