What Makes A Man A Man |
| My mum and I we live alone |
| A great apartment is our home |
| In Fairhome Towers |
| I have to keep me company |
| Two dogs, a cat, a parakeet |
| Some plants and flowers |
| I help my mother with the chores |
| I wash, she dries, I do the floors |
| We work together |
| I shop and cook and sow a bit |
| Though mum does too I must admit |
| I do it better |
| At night I work in a strange bar |
| Impersonating every star |
| I’m quite deceiving |
| The customers come in with doubt |
| And wonder what I’m all about |
| But leave believing |
| I do a very special show |
| Where I am nude from head to toe |
| After stripteasing |
| Each night the men look so surprised |
| I change my sex before their eyes |
| Tell me if you can |
| What makes a man a man |
| At three o’clock or so I meet |
| With friends to have a bite to eat |
| And conversation |
| We love to empty out our hearts |
| With every subject from the arts |
| To liberation |
| We love to pull apart someone |
| And spread some gossip just for fun |
| Or start a rumor |
| We let our hair down, so to speak |
| And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek |
| And inside humor |
| So many times we have to pay |
| For having fun and being gay |
| It’s not amusing |
| There’s always those that spoil our games |
| By finding fault and calling names |
| Always accusing |
| They draw attention to themselves |
| At the expense of someone else |
| It’s so confusing |
| Yet they make fun of how I talk |
| And imitate the way I walk |
| Tell me if you can |
| What makes a man a man |
| My masquerade comes to an end |
| And I go home to bed again |
| Alone and friendless |
| I close my eyes, I think of him |
| I fantasize what might have been |
| My dreams are endless |
| We love each other but it seems |
| The love is only in my dreams |
| It’s so one sided |
| But in this life I must confess |
| The search for love and happiness |
| Is unrequited |
| I ask myself what I have got |
| Of what I am and what I’m not |
| What have I given |
| The answers come from those who make |
| The rules that some of us must break |
| Just to keep living |
| I know my life is not a crime |
| I’m just a victim of my time |
| I stand defenseless |
| Nobody has the right to be |
| The judge of what is right for me |
| Tell me if you can |
| What make a man a man |
| Tell me if you can |
| Tell me if you can |
| Tell me if you can |
| What makes a man a man |
