Lyrics - Just Like a Man by Del Amitri

I still don’t believe it, how much we lied
Last night you made it with him now
I’m supposed to be dignified
Just like a man
Well
I spend my night times drinking and you spend your days in bed
And
I guess it’s up to us to choose the methods by which we forget
And just like a man he holds you gently
And just like a man he strokes your hair
And just like a man
I still pretend that i’m
Immune to the whole affair
But
I wanna die,
I wanna cry,
I wanna tell you
I was wrong
Yeh
I wanna die,
I wanna cry but it’s too late
So
I soldier on just like a man
I don’t believe it, you were easy to leave but now
I do my best to relieve it the only way
I know how
Just like a man
And
I don’t wanna possess you,
I don’t wanna take his place
But
I don’t wanna see my last few pleasures written all over his face
And just like a man he holds you gently
And just like a man he strokes your hair
And just like a man
I still pretend that i’m
Immune to the whole affair
But
I wanna die,
I wanna cry,
I wanna tell you
I was wrong
Yeh
I wanna die,
I wanna cry but it’s too late
So
I soldier on just like a man
And
I have something to tell you but it doesn’t matter now
I’ll stick to small talk and leave the little bits of flattery to him
And
I could call you but why would
I bother to
You might not be in or he might misunderstand
Just like a man
