A Man Will Be A Man - Isaac Hayes

Staying out in the streets

Week after week

Made me loose the best thing I ever had

Runnin' from girl to girl

Is the thing that wrecked my world

'Cause I lost you, and I feel so bad

I found a note that was left by you

And I can hardly believe my eyes

When it read that we were through

If you come back to stay

Never again, will I

Drift away

A man will be a man

Can you understand?

I’m sorry I was wrong

Baby, come back home

I’m the biggest fool

'Cause I broke all the rules

And bait with my happiness

My ego blinded me, so I couldn’t see

That I was headed for lonliness

Now it’s so clear to me

As a summer sky

I really miss my water, 'cause my will is dry

If come back to stay

Never again, will I

Drift away

A man will be a man

Can you understand?

I’m sorry I was wrong

Baby, come back home

I had big fun by myself

And I cheated by myself

And I got caught, by myself

And now I’m alone, crying by myself

I thought I could survive

Without you by my side

But I was only kidding myself

'Cause when I try to feed

This hungry need in me

I couldn’t be satisfied by no one else

You once said that your love was so strong

I don’t want to believe that the thrill is gone

If you come back to stay

Never again, will I

Drift away

A man will be a man

Can you understand?

I’m sorry I was wrong

Oh baby, come back home

A man will be a man

Can you understand?

I’m sorry I was wrong

Oh baby, come back home

A man will be a man

Can’t you understand?

I’m so sorry, I say I’m sorry

Come back home

'Cause a man will be a man

Can you understand?

Forgive me, give me another chance

Come on back home

A man, what you are sometime

Deep is heart is mine

You never hold on

Never love

A man will be a man

Can’t you understand?

Forgive me, baby

I’m sorry baby

Come on back home

Oh, a man will make a mistake sometime

Oh again, yeah

I’m so cold

A man will be a man, can’t you understand

I’m sorry, so sorry, so sorry

Yeah, a man will be a man

Can’t you understand?

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
