  • You think you're a man

    Man, boy
    Man, boy
    Man, boy
    Man, boy

    Man
    Boy

    Turn around, stand up like a man and look me in the eye
    Turn around, take one final look at what you've left behind
    Then walk away
    From the greatest lover you have ever known
    Yes, walk away
    You're telling me that you can make it on your own
    By yourself, all alone, without my help
    Mister, you just made a big mistake

    You think you're a man but you're only a boy
    You think you're a man, you are only a toy
    You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
    You weren't man enough to safisfy me

    Shut the door, take a look around and tell me what you find
    Shut the door, take a giant step for you and all mankind
    Then don't come back
    I always gave you so much more than you deserved
    No, don't come back
    'Cause no one makes a fool of me, you've got a nerve to walk away
    Mark the words I'm gonna say
    Mister, you just made a big mistake

    You think you're a man but you're only a boy
    You think you're a man, you are only a toy
    You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
    You weren't man enough to safisfy me

    Man, boy
    Man, boy
    Man, boy
    Man, boy

    Man, boy
    Man, boy
    Man, boy
    Man, boy

    You think you're a man but you're only a boy
    You think you're a man, you are only a toy
    You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
    You weren't man enough to safisfy me

    Shut the door, take a look around and tell me what you find
    Shut the door, take a giant step for you and all mankind
    Then don't come back
    I always gave you so much more than you deserve
    No, don't come back
    'Cause no one makes a fool of me, you've got a nerve to walk away
    Mark the words I'm gonna say
    Mister, you just made a big mistake

    You think you're a man but you're only a boy
    You think you're a man, you are only a toy
    You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
    You weren't man enough to safisfy me

    You think you're a man but you're only a boy
    You think you're a man, you are only a toy
    You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
    You weren't man enough to safisfy me

    Man, boy
    Toy

    You think you're a man but you're only a boy
    You think you're a man, you are only a toy
    You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
    You weren't man enough to safisfy me

    You think you're a man but you're only a boy
    You think you're a man, you are only a toy
    You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
    You weren't man enough to safisfy me

    You think you're a man but you're only a boy
    You think you're a man, you are only a toy
    You think you're a man but you just couldn't see Writer/s: GEOFFREY DEANE, WILLIAM KEITH MILLER
