Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo (x2)
Walk, Walk, Walk,Walk,
Walk like a man
Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size
Tellin' dirty lies to my friends
But my own father said Give her up, don't bother
The world isn't comin' to an end

He Said :

Walk like a man, talk like a man
Walk like a man my son
No woman's worth crawlin' on the earth
So walk like a man, my son

Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo (x2)
Walk, Walk, Walk, Walk,

Bye bye baby, I don't-a mean maybe
Gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be cryin' on account of all your lyin'
Oh yeah, just look who's laughin' now

I'm Gonna
Walk like a man, fast as I can
Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world Forget about it, girl
And walk like a man from you

Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo (x2)
Walk, Walk, Walk, Walk,
Walk, Walk, Walk, Walk ...

Oh how she tried to cut him down to size
Telling dirty lies to his friends
But his own father said give her up, don't bother
The world isn't coming to and end, he said...
Walk like a man, talk like a man my son
No woman's worth crawling on the earth so walk like a man my son

Bye baby, I don't mean maybe
Gonna get along somehow
Soon she'll be crying on account of all her lying
Oh yeah just look who's laughing now. He's gonna...
Walk like a man, fast as he can, walk like a man from you
He'll tell the world Forget about it girl, I'd walk like a man from you.

Oh how she tried to cut him down to size
Telling dirty lies to his friends
But his own father said give her up, don't bother
The world isn't coming to and end, he said...
Walk like a man, talk like a man my son
No woman's worth crawling on the earth so walk like a man my son

In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears
Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears
Mama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face
In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace
His old man woke him up to help him find the car
Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar
And swore that he was quittin
And then he'd start to cry
And though the boy knew the truth
Sometimes he'd still believe that lie

When the sins of the father are the sins of the son
All you do is crawl when you wanna run
And God gave boys their mamas cause
They always see their promise
And they help them understand
How to walk like a man
Walk like a man

They moved a lot of places, they never settled down
It got pretty old being the new kid in town
He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today
Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say

The sins of the father are the sins of the son
Crawl before you walk, boy
Walk before you run
Come on, stand up straight, I'm proud of you
Take my hand
I know you can
Walk like a man
Walk like a man

Your daddy's demons are callin' your name
Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim
Temptations may come, that ain't no sin
You get stronger every time that you don't give in

The sins of the father are the sins of the son
You can't undo what has been done
You'll have to retrace his footsteps
Through the sand
And pray you find the love of a girl
And take her by the hand
And walk on
Walk like a man

I got so many thoughts jumping out of my head
And I can't sit still
I'm thinking about the universe
I'm looking at life on earth
I can't shut the camera shutter

I stare at the clock, the years slip away
And I stay confused

I'm dreaming about *la raison d'être (*the reason to be)
I'm frightened by the toxic threat
I can't stop the motor running

People saying I should learn some self-control
But I just want to exorcise my soul

And Walk Like A Man, Walk Like A Man
I still feel like a boy and you feel like a girl in my hand
I'm gonna Walk Like A Man, Walk Like A Man
I'm still waiting on the revelation
Here in never-never land

I got so many things jumpin' out of my brain
And I feel so strange
I'm crazy about the car I drive
While people struggle just to stay alive
I can't put the two together

I stare in the bathroom mirror at my face
God, I look so pale
Lines crawl across my face
I'm runnin' in the human race
Yeah, me first, who am I kidding

Where is this peace that comes with age
Someone show me to my cage

Where I can Walk Like A Man, Walk Like A Man
I still feel like a boy
And you feel like a girl in my hand
I'm gonna Walk Like A Man, Walk Like A Man
I'm still waiting on the revelation
Here in never-never land
(When it finally hits me then)
(And only then, I'll understand)
Waiting for the revolution here
In never-never land

Where is this peace that comes with age
Will somebody take me to the stage

Where I can Walk Like A Man, Walk Like A Man
Walk, Walk Like A Man
Walk Like A Man
Walk Like A Man
Walk Like A Man
Walk Like A Man
Walk Like A Man

I still feel like a boy
And you feel like a girl in my hand
I'm gonna Walk Like A Man, Walk Like A Man
I'm still waiting on the revelation
Here in never-never land
(When it finally hits me then)
(And only then, I'll understand)
Waiting for the revolution here
In never-never land

Walk Like A Man

Oh how you tried
To cut me down to size

Crawling on the earth

Fine eyed baby
I don't mean maybe
We're gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be crying
On 'count of all you're lying
Oh yeah, just look who's laughing now

I'm gonna walk like a man
Fast as I can
Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world
Forget about it girl
And walk like a man from you

I remember how rough your hand felt on mine
On my wedding day
And the tears cried on my shoulder
I couldn't turn away
Well so much has happened to me
That I don't understand
All I can think of is being five years old following behind you at the beach
Tracing your footprints in the sand
Trying to walk like a man

By Our Lady Of The Roses
We lived in the shadow of the elms
I remember ma draggin' me and my sister up the street to the church
Whenever she heard those wedding bells
Well would they ever look so happy again
The handsome groom and his bride
As they stepped into that long black limousine
For their mystery ride
Well tonight you step away from me
And alone at the alter I stand
And as I watch my bride coming down the aisle I pray
For the strength to walk like a man

Well now the years have gone and I've grown
From that seed you've sown
But I didn't think there'd been so many steps
I'd have to learn on my own
Well I was young and I didn't know what to do
When I saw your best steps stolen away from you
Now I'll do what I can
I'll walk like a man
And I'll keep on walkin'

In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears
Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears
Mama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face
In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace
His old man woke him up to help him find the car
Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar
And swore that he was quittin
And then he'd start to cry
And though the boy knew the truth
Sometimes he'd still believe that lie

When the sins of the father are the sins of the son
All you do is crawl when you wanna run
And God gave boys their mamas cause
They always see their promise
And they help them understand
How to walk like a man
Walk like a man

They moved a lot of places, they never settled down
It got pretty old being the new kid in town
He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today
Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say

The sins of the father are the sins of the son
Crawl before you walk, boy
Walk before you run
Come on, stand up straight, I'm proud of you
Take my hand
I know you can
Walk like a man
Walk like a man

Your daddy's demons are callin' your name
Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim
Temptations may come, that ain't no sin
You get stronger every time that you don't give in
