Lyrics Just Like a Man - Graham Parker

Just Like a Man

Just like a man
Flexing his muscle and not really usin' it
Just like a fool
Making her suffer and stuffing her feelings with cotton wool
Well, forgive him
Forgive him
Just like a man
Carrying a picture but seeing in the negative
Just like a fool
All double standards, baby, do this but never do that
Well, forgive him
Forgive him
Forgive him
He makes her fall, face down into the pillow
Climbing the wall, weeping like a weeping willow
Hands her a tissue he’s already used
Just like a man, just like a man
Dragging her under for everything he’ll never be
Just like a fool
Ripping her asunder, said, he didn’t really love her anyway
Well, forgive him
Forgive him
Just like a man
Thrashing out blindly way way out of depth
Just like a fool
There’s no device he won’t employ
He even cries like a little boy
Well, forgive him
Forgive him
Forgive him
Just like a man
Just like a man
Just like a man
Just like a man
