Real Men

Real men don't need other people

And real men suck it in

Real men don't flinch or bleed in public

Oh, I think I'm a real man


Little boys cry and look around for comfort

And always get what they want

Little boys see toys and say, "I can take that!"

Oh, you are my little boy


Though honestly sir, all I wanna do

Is get naked in front of you

So you can look me up and down

And tell me, "Well done girl, you're looking good!"


Real men keep cool in the face of a fire

Go down with the ship

And real men don't eat, 'cause they're above that, damn it

And oh, I'm gonna be a real man


Though honestly sir, all I wanna do

Is get naked in front of you

So you can look me up and down

And give me your love for being so good


But little boys hold me, color me

Praise me, make me feel lovely

For a little while


So little boy, say you want me

'Cause when I can't take it, go ahead

Do it, do it
