Just Like a Man Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Why are these tears in my eyes?
When I know a man
A man ain′t supposed to cry

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh (a man ain't supposed to cry)
I know a man (a man ain′t supposed to cry)

Been workin' five days a week (like a man)
I know I dress and I speak (like a man)
But when my baby said goodbye
I had to break right down and cry
What am I? (Just a guy)
Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby
(Men ain't supposed to cry)

I like good food and wine to drink (like a man)
I like to say just what I think (like a man)
But when my baby said goodbye
I had to break right down and cry
What am I? (Just a guy)
Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah


Now many have cried (oh, oh)
Yes, men do cry (oh, oh)
Tears have been shed by much better men than I
Men have cried (oh, oh) in the past
So I know I′m not the first
And I won′t be the last

I can accept my tribulation (like a man)
And cope with many situations (like a man)
But when my baby said goodbye
I had to break right down and cry
What am I? (Just a guy)
Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby

Yeah, yeah, yeah (oh, baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I can accept my tribulation (like a man)
And cope with many situations (like a man)
But when my baby said goodbye
I had to break right down and cry
What am I? (Just a guy)
Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby

Hey (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby


One more time
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Men ain't supposed to cry) I know a man
