Act Like a Man

Well I heard you're pouring out your feelings in a bar

How she left you high and dry

Now you hardly leave the house all day

And every night you lie awake and cry

You're playing love songs on the jukebox

Thinking 'bout the hell she put you through

And you swear your life is over

You wonder now what you're supposed to do

Why don't you act like a man

And try to be strong

Pick yourself up, try to stand tough

And just move along

Have another shot

And try to understand

Sometimes life is cruel when you're played a fool

You can act like a man

Well you say it was your best friend

You wonder how you were so blind

All the weekends out of town

The nights she said she's working overtime

Now she took all your money

And drove off in a lover's Escalade

Now you're sitting here with me tonight

Still prayin' you can get her back someday

Why don't you act like a man

And try to be strong

Pick yourself up, try to stand tough

And just move along

Have another shot

And try to understand

Sometimes life is cruel when you're played a fool

You can act like a man

There's a red head in the corner

You play your cards just right

Quit talking 'bout your problems

You might take her home tonight

Why don't you act like a man

And try to be strong

Pick yourself up, try to stand tough

And just move along

Have another shot

And try to understand

Sometimes life is cruel when you're played a fool

You can act like a man

Yeah sometimes life ain't fair

So get yourself a pair

And act like a man
