Real Men
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Real men don't need other people, and
Real men suck it in
Real men don't flinch or bleed in public
Oh, I think I'm a real man
Little boys cry and look around for comfort
And always get what they want
Little boys see toys and say: I can take that!
Oh, you are my little boy
Though honestly, sir
All I wanna do is get naked in front of you
So you can look me up and down and tell me
Well done, girl, you're looking good
Real men keep cool in the face of a fire
Go down with the ship
Real men don't eat 'cause
They're above that, damn it
Oh, I'm gonna be a real man
Though honestly, sir
All I wanna do is get naked in front of you
So you can look me up and down
And give me your love for being so good
But little boys hold me, colour me
Praise me, make me feel lovely
For a little while
So little boy, say you want me
Cause, well, I can't take it
Go ahead
Do it, do it
