I Was Born a Man - The Hollies

Some kids grow up with lots of toys

Some grow up knowing other boys

And I was born in the land of the free

But these things never happened to me

'Cause I was born a man

Don’t remember being a child

I was born a man

Don’t remember running wild

As soon as I was old enough to get my pay

I was working sixteen hours out of every day

Some kids grow up with a mothers love

And some with even more

But me I just turned up one day

On someone else’s door

'Cause I was born a man

Don’t remember being a child

I was born a man

Don’t remember running wild

As soon as I was old enough to get my pay

I was working sixteen hours out of every day

But I won’t cry

No I won’t bore you

It has been good but it could have been better

Life’s like a woman

Go out and take her

She’ll treat you good if you are good back to her

I was born a man

Don’t remember being a child

I was born a man

Don’t remember running wild

As soon as I was old enough to get my pay

I was working sixteen hours out of every day
