What it takes to be a man
Oh, I wish I knew
and careless one night stands
Oh, we did not know
Cheap thrills, pharmaceuticals, just going with the flow
What it takes to be a man
Oh, I wish I knew back then
raising hell at school
By twenty one so damn cool
gotta run with those lies
But now’s the time, better realise
What it takes to be a man
Oh, I wish I knew back then
What it takes to be a man
Oh, I wish I knew
Raising hell at school
By twenty one, so damn cool
gotta run with those lies
But now’s the time, better realise
Now its time to let it go, son
What it takes, I wanna know, oh
What it takes to be a man
Oh, I wish I knew
and rock champions
Oh, we did not know
Cheap thrills and pharmaceuticals, just going with the flow
Just going with the flow
What it takes to be a man
Oh, I wish I knew back then
raising hell at school
By twenty one, so damn cool
gotta run with those lies
But now’s the time, better realise
So say hello to the blues
Say goodbye to those well known lies
And brother, one day I hope you realise
What it takes to be a man
What it takes to be a man
What it takes to be a man
What it takes to be a man
