Lyrics Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye

Just Like a Man

Why are these tears in my eyes?

When I know a man

A man ain't supposed to cry

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh (a man ain't supposed to cry)

I know a man (ain't supposed to cry)

Been workin' five days a week (like a man)

I know I dress and I speak (like a man)

But when my baby said goodbye

I had to break right down and cry

But am I (just a guy)

Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby

(Men ain't supposed to cry)

I like good food and wine to drink (like a man)

I like to say just what I think (like a man)

But when my baby said goodbye

I had to break right down and cry

But am I (just a guy)

Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby

(Men ain't supposed to cry)

But many have cried

Yes, man do cry

Tears have been shed by much better men than I

Men have cried in the past

So I know I'm not the first

And I won't be the last

I can accept my tribulation (like a man)

And cope with many a situation (like a man)

But when my baby said goodbye

I had to break right down and cry

But am I (just a guy)

Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby

Ooh baby

(Men ain't supposed to cry)

I can accept my tribulation (like a man)

And cope with many a situation (like a man)

But when my baby said goodbye

I had to break right down and cry

But am I (just a guy)

Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby

Hey, baby

One more time

(Men ain't supposed to cry)
