Isaac Hayes A Man Will Be A Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Staying out in the streets
Week after week
Made me loose the best thing I ever had
Runnin' from girl to girl
Is the thing that wrecked my world
'Cause I lost you, and I feel so bad
I found a note that was left by you
And I can hardly believe my eyes
When it read that we were through
If you come back to stay
Never again, will I
Drift away
[Hook]
A man will be a man
Can you understand?
I'm sorry I was wrong
Baby, come back home

[Verse 2]
I'm the biggest fool
'Cause I broke all the rules
And bait with my happiness
My ego blinded me, so I couldn't see
That I was headed for lonliness
Now it's so clear to me
As a summer sky
I really miss my water, 'cause my will is dry
If come back to stay
Never again, will I
Drift away

[Hook]
A man will be a man
Can you understand?
I'm sorry I was wrong
Baby, come back home

[Verse 3]
I had big fun by myself
And I cheated by myself
And I got caught, by myself
And now I'm alone, crying by myself
I thought I could survive
Without you by my side
But I was only kidding myself
'Cause when I try to feed This hungry need in me
I couldn't be satisfied by no one else
You once said that your love was so strong
I don't want to believe that the thrill is gone
If you come back to stay
Never again, will I
Drift away
[Hook]
A man will be a man
Can you understand?
I'm sorry I was wrong
Oh baby, come back home

A man will be a man
Can you understand?
I'm sorry I was wrong
Oh baby, come back home

[Refrain]
A man will be a man
Can't you understand?
I'm so sorry, I say I'm sorry
Come back home

'Cause a man will be a man
Can you understand?
Forgive me, give me another chance
Come on back home

[Verse 4]
A man, what you are sometime
Deep is heart is mine
You never hold on
Never love
[Hook]
A man will be a man
Can't you understand?
Forgive me, baby
I'm sorry baby
Come on back home

[Outro]
Oh, a man will make a mistake sometime
Oh again, yeah
I'm so cold

A man will be a man, can't you understand
I'm sorry, so sorry, so sorry
Yeah, a man will be a man
Can't you understand?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
