Graham Parker - Just Like a Man (7" edit) lyrics

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
