Lyrics Graham Parker

Graham Parker

Just Like A Man

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

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
