  • [Chorus]
    Song-maker
    You heart-breaker
    You figure
    Better stop it while you can
    You know you're just a worthless daydreamer
    But hey dreamer
    It's time to act like a man

    Song writin'
    It's just a little bit frightenin'
    Like playin' with lightening
    I'm not complainin' now you understand
    You get to sing and dance all day
    Like children play
    But it's time to act like a man

    Bein' a man means responsible
    You hear it wherever you go
    Nothing is ever impossible
    Something inside tells me so
    And I know
    What I know.

    Say lover
    Better discover
    Some other way to turn your head around again
    And really don't you wait now
    It's gettin' late now
    It's time to act like a man

    Bein' a man means responsible
    You hear it wherever you go
    Nothing is ever impossible
    Something inside tells me so
    And I know what I know

    [Chorus]

    You've got to act like a man.
    Why don't you grow up and act like a man? Writer/s: NEIL DIAMOND
