Real Man Songtext
von Mathilde Santing

When I was a child
I thought as a child
And spoke like a child
I didn′t know better, better
But now I'm a man
Sometimes I look like a man
I′m old as a man
And I should know better, better

I've got my head in the sky
And my mind knows what it wants
But my body just drags me down
And my world is something you can't see
But it′s still very real to me
You may find it in the hole where I keep my soul
Way down inside me

There′s a real man (A real man)
A real man
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man (A real man)
Not so hard to be a real man


I see with my heart
Hear with my heart
Feel with my heart
Sometimes it works better
So much better

And some so-called friends put me down
And they pity me for trying
Bad emotions push me around
But the vision shines on and on
It will shine when we all have gone
And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I′m here
Way down inside me

A real man (A real man)
A real man
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man (A real man)
Not so hard to be a real man


Some men's world is only hate and money
Afraid of everything and they laugh at nothing
And they only live to criticize
You can laugh at me now
But the time will come for everybody
When you must decide
′Cause when death finally comes along
You might wish you'd been a little more strong
Then you wake up in the morning crying
"Oh my God, way down inside me"

There′s a real man
Ooh, a real man
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man
Not so hard to be a real man

Just get your tip together
Be a real man (A real man)
Try to be a real man
And take no shit from no one
Be a real man, a real man, a real man
Be a real, real, real
A real, real man
Be a real, try to be a real man
And sometimes you just got to, you just got to

Forget about bad feelings and be a real man, yeah
Be a real man (A real man)
A real man, a real, real, real, real

Be a real, real man
Be a real man
