Take It Like A Man

 












Take It Like a Man

lyrics

Boy meets girl it's a delicate thing
So much time spent wondering
If what you see is what you get
I keep looking for a friend and a lover

When I find one he ain't the other
Sometimes, I just want to quit
One wants a maid one needs his mother
They either want space or they want to smother me
And my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
Take it like a man who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart
Take it like a man

I met somebody the other night
Started thinking he was Mr. Right
Wrong, I might have never known
If a friend hadn't brought it to my attention

He's got a wife he forgot to mention
Girl, leave that fool alone
I keep hoping and telling myself
Somewhere there's one good one left
'Cause my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
Take it like a man who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart
Take it like a man

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carrying on
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
Take it like a man who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart
Take it like a man

Take it like a man
Well honey if you want my heart you gotta
Take it like a man
Take it like a man

Marching For You






Someday We'll All Be Free
 by Donnie Hathaway








Marching For You


We marched because we had to, son
We were tired of dying slow
Burned and beaten with whips of hate
For reasons we didn't know.

Tired of standing in the back of life
Awaiting the freedom of death
Tired of bowing with downcast eyes
And holding our angry breath.

We were tired of living like cattle
Sold in the markets of men
Cursed with a curse, (not mankind) something worse
When existing was our only sin.

We were tired of working for nothing
Owning no thing but our souls
Watching our labor make other men rich
As they reached, (on our backs) for their goals.

Son, we only wanted what was rightfully ours
A family, a home and some land
To be treated fairly and given respect
Like any other color of man.

We marched because we had to
Through this country we call home
(A million miles from the place we were born)
But to which we will ever belong.

In Selma and in Memphis
In Atlanta, Little Rock
Downtown D.C. and Kentucky
And they could not make us stop.

Many died and many cried
As we marched our way through hell
And what our pain has helped us gain
Only God can tell.

Injustice hides it's face from those
Who dare to shine the light
We marched to show our dignity
And to change our wrongs to rights.

We marched because we had to, son
We were tired of hearing "no"
We fought for the freedom that you're taking for granted
In ways that you never will know.

So, don't scorn these tired and graying heads 
We're feeble and old, that's true
But as you dance down the street to this new century beat
Know this, son, we were marching for you.

The Secret That Was No Secret

 






The Secret That Was No Secret



Lying here with you
I wonder if I dare
Tell the secrets of my soul
I wonder should I share......

Lying in the darkness
Of this warm and cozy room
The only light comes from our eyes
And the softly glowing moon

Lying in this tenderness
With our hearts and forms entwined
The taste of love is on our lips
Like a sweet and honeyed wine

Do you want to know a secret?
I finally dare to ask
As I pull away to await response
To my long awaited task

And what is that? you whisper
Barely breathing as you gasp
Wondering if I need to tell
Some misdeed of the past

I let you lay in mystery
And drown in lover's pain
And then I turn to pull you back
Into my arms again

I love you so, I whisper
The words I'd never said to you
And you exhaled your breath and laughed and said
Girl, that I already knew!
