I'm a fighter and a thief
Of all the hearts that I can
And every moment that she sleeps
My mind goes wandering
And all the time's she's insecure
I know I've played the upper hand
After all that's what it takes
What it takes to be a man
And I'm sure I hold the reigns
I control her downpour
So come on grey clouds
What you waiting for
Her sunshine smile
Is so juvenile
I'll do whatever I can
What I can to be a man
What I can to be a man
I may not use force
But I'll break her down
With no remorse
My words drown her out
And I had behind
This charming game
After all that's what it takes
What it takes to be a man
What it takes to be a man
