Just
Like a Man - Graham Parker
Just like
a man, flexing his muscle and not really usin' it
Just like a fool, making her suffer And stuffing her feelings with cotton
wool
Well, forgive him, forgive him
Just like a man, carrying a picture but seeing in the negative
Just like a fool, all double standards baby do this but never do that
Well, forgive him, forgive him, forgive him
[Bridge]
He makes her fall, face down into the pillow
Climbing the wall, weeping like a weeping willow
Hands her a tissue he's already used
Just like a man, just like a man
Dragging her under for everything he'll never be
Ripping her asunder, said he didn't really love her anyway
Well, forgive him, forgive him
Just like a man, thrashing out
blindly way out of his depth
Just like a fool, there's no device he won't employ
He even cries like a little boy
Well, forgive him, forgive him
Forgive him
Just like a man, just like a man
Just like a man, just like a man
