Lyrics

I can’t become super human
Can’t you love me for all that I am?
I aim to please I try to impress
But baby, I feel like such a mess
When you say...

“Be a Real Man
You’ve got to be a Real Man
Be a Real Man for me
Like the guy on tv
Put your hands in the air
That comes to you so easy
Put your hands in the air
Grab a star for me
Won’t you grab a star for me?”

I can’t handle all this pressure
Can’t you see I’m going under?
I can’t play no god for you
Can’t you see what I’m going through?When you say...

“Be a Real Man
You’ve got to be a Real Man
Be a Real Man for me
Like the guy on tv

Put your hands in the air
That comes to you so easy
Put your hands in the air
Grab a star for me
Won’t you grab a star for me?"

Would a Real Man
Help you out in the kitchen?
Would he help you start
Your own religion
Would he soak you for
All that you’re willing to give?
Or would he love you enough
To let you live?
