Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size

Tellin' dirty lies to my friends

But my own father said "Give her up, don't bother

The world isn't comin' to an end"



Walk like a man, talk like a man

Walk like a man my son

No woman's worth crawlin' on the earth

So walk like a man, my son



Bye bye baby, I don't-a mean maybe

Gonna get along somehow

Soon you'll be cryin' on account of all your lyin'

Oh yeah, just look who's laughin' now



Walk like a man, fast as I can

Walk like a man from you

I'll tell the world "forget about it, girl"

And walk like a man from you
