Be a Man
Changing Faces Lyrics

You said before me
You told me that in your past relationships, they were often short and didn't last long.

Your relationships were short
The romantic connections you had never sustained a long-term commitment.

They never did last too long
These bonds never lasted long enough to build anything worthwhile.

Said every time you thought
You previously mentioned that every time you thought you found the right one, it fell apart.

You found pretty Mrs. Right
You thought you found the perfect partner for you.

She turned out to be Mrs. Wrong
But it didn't work out, and they weren't right for each other.

You always worked late
Your job needs you at all hours of the day.

Didn't have much time to play
You couldn't afford to have time for leisure activities and relaxation.

And she couldn't relate to you
Your significant other couldn't understand your work schedule, your goals, or priorities.

She couldn't understand
This partner couldn't comprehend you and your needs.

You're a hardworking man
You're a diligent and resilient person who's dedicated to his profession.

You need a woman like me who do
You require a partner who understands and appreciates your work ethic and what you want to accomplish in your life.

'Cause I'll say...
Because I will support you and say...

Go and get your paper, babe
Go make that money and provide for us, darling.

You won't hear nothing out of me
Don't worry; I won't nag or make demands of you.

Honey ain't no time for play
There's no time for leisure or distraction.

See the bills got to get paid
We have bills to pay and things to do, so we need that paper.

We gotta eat everyday
We must eat, and it's not free, so we need the money.

And nothing in life comes for free
Nothing in this life is given at no cost.

So go ahead and get what you can
Please get all you can earn and find beneficial.

I got your back, baby, be a man
I'm here for you, my love, I support you, so execute your plan and be a man.

So now you found me
Now you found that person.

Someone that you can adore
Someone that you can love and cherish.

And you know I adore you too
And that person loves and respects you the same way you do.

Somebody that's strong
A person who is independent and has their qualities and ambitions.

And got it goin' on
And knows what they want and has a plan to achieve it.

And won't solely depend on you
And has its finances and goals that won't rely only on you.

As crazy as it seems
As unbelievable as it may sound.

I'm a let you do your thing boy
I will let you continue with your goal, no matter what it is, my man.

See I can understand
Because I get it.

That you are just a man
I know that you're only human.

Tryin' to be all that he can be
Trying to accomplish all he can.

I'll say...
I will continue to support you by saying...

I understand
I feel you, and I comprehend your needs.

All that it takes
Everything you need to achieve your aim.

Do what you can
Do all you can give toward your goal.

Before it's too late
While there's still time, you need to do this.

Honey I'll always
My dear, I will always

Be around
Be present around you, to always provide support and care.

I'll pick you up
I'll also encourage and motivate you.

If ever you're down
If you're ever discouraged or disheartened.
