What it takes to be a man Oh, I wish I knew [?] and careless one night stands Oh, we did not know Cheap thrills, pharmaceuticals, just going with the flow [Refrain] What it takes to be a man Oh, I wish I knew back then [?] raising hell at school By twenty one so damn cool [?] gotta run with those lies But now's the time, better realise What it takes to be a man Oh, I wish I knew back then What it takes to be a man Oh, I wish I knew Raising hell at school By twenty one, so damn cool [?] gotta run with those lies But now's the time, better realise Now its time to let it go, son What it takes, I wanna know, oh
[Instrumental] What it takes to be a man Oh, I wish I knew [?] and rock champions Oh, we did not know Cheap thrills and pharmaceuticals, just going with the flow Just going with the flow [Refrain] What it takes to be a man Oh, I wish I knew back then [?] raising hell at school By twenty one, so damn cool [?] gotta run with those lies But now's the time, better realise So say hello to the blues [?] Say goodbye to those well known lies And brother, one day I hope you realise What it takes to be a man What it takes to be a man What it takes to be a man What it takes to be a man
