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

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

Just like a fool

Ripping her asunder, said, he didn’t really love her anyway

Well, forgive him

Forgive him

Just like a man

Thrashing out blindly way way out of 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
