Less Of A Man
Zak Abel Lyrics

If I spend all day singing love songs, baby
Just because I sing love songs all day does not mean I am any less of a man.

And if I can′t build a house with my hands
Not being able to build a house manually does not deem me less of a man.

If I go see a therapist, don't play football and I don′t drink
Going to therapy, not playing football, and not drinking do not make me any less of a man.

What if I ain't scared to show my emotions
I am not scared of showing my emotions; it does not make me any less of a man.

And I need a little help from my friends
Asking my friends for help when necessary does not make me less of a man.

If I hate being on my own, and I ugly cry to Bridget Jones
Disliking being alone and crying during a movie does not make me any less of a man.

Does it make me less of a man? Tell me
These actions should not determine my manliness, but society constantly questions it.

If I need you, does it make me less of a man?
Asking for your support and needing you does not make me any less of a man.

If I reach out when my head is underwater
Needing help when I am overwhelmed does not make me less of a man.

And I need a helping hand
It is okay to need a helping hand; it does not make me less of a man.

If my girlfriend makes more money than I do
My girlfriend making more money than I do does not make me less of a man.

And I love my mama 'cause she′s the best
Loving my mother does not make me any less of a man.

If I′ve never had a cigarette or a single hair upon my chest
Not having smokeed or having chest hair does not make me less of a man.

There's too many man down, to be told how they gotta man on up
There are too many men who have to step up and meet societal standards for manliness.

There′s too many man down, to be told how they're not man enough
Many are being told they aren't a 'real man.'

I am what I am and there ain′t nothing I can't rise above
I am who I am and nothing will stop me from surpassing the stereotype.

It don′t make me less of a man
None of these actions make me any less of a man.

Don′t make me, uh (less of a man)
I am strong and no one can take that away from me.
