Billy Dean - Real Man Lyrics
(Billy Dean)I came home from college to see my old manHe was sittin' on the porch swing, with a book in his handHe stared at my earring, and at my tattooHe smiled and shook his head and saidIt's good to see youHe chose his words carefully cause it was hard for me to comeAnd he knew I had ta temper and where I got it fromI waited for the sermon, the one I knew so wellBut this time he wasn't preachin'About heaven or hellHe said a real man knows the value of a womanA real man has got nothin to proveHe's strenthened by loveAnd the Lord up aboveSo do the best that you canTo be a real manCould it be that I saw just a glimpse of his soulOr maybe losin' Mama had just taken it's tollHe gave me his Bible, stained with tears he had criedAnd I opened up the coverWhere he wrote insideAnd it saidA real man has got nothin to proveHe's strenthened by loveAnd the Lord up aboveSo do the best that you canTo be a real manDo the best that you canTo be a real man
