Just Like A Man

Del Amitri

I still don't believe it, how much we lied

Last night you made it with him

now I'm supposed to be dignified

Just like a man



Well I spend my night times drinking

and you spend your days in bed

And I guess it's up to us to choose

the methods by which we forget



And just like a man he holds you gently

And just like a man he strokes your hair

And just like a man I still pretend that i'm

Immune to the whole affair



But I wanna die, I wanna cry,

I wanna tell you I was wrong

Yeh I wanna die, I wanna cry but it's too late

So I soldier on just like a man



I don't believe it, you were easy to leave but now

I do my best to relieve it the only way I know how

Just like a man



And I don't wanna possess you,

I don't wanna take his place

But I don't wanna see my last few pleasures

written all over his face



And just like a man he holds you gently

And just like a man he strokes your hair

And just like a man I still pretend that i'm

Immune to the whole affair



But I wanna die, I wanna cry,

I wanna tell you I was wrong

Yeh I wanna die, I wanna cry but it's too late

So I soldier on just like a man



And I have something to tell you

but it doesn't matter now

I'll stick to small talk

and leave the little bits of flattery to him

And I could call you but why would I bother to

You might not be in or he might misunderstand

Just like a man
