Elvis Costello - Why Can't A Man Stand Alone? (live) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Why can't a man stand alone?
  • Must he be burdened by all that he's taught to consider his own?
  • His skin and his station, his kin and his crown, his flag and his nation
  • They just weigh him down
  • You know pride is a sin that we tend to forgive
  • But it gets hard to live
  • When you don't have the love in her heart to begin with
  • Why can't a man stand alone?
  • Why can't a woman be just what she seems?
  • Must she be tarnished by men who can only be men in their dreams?
  • When beauty meets ignorance they shout in the street
  • Repeating their offer to each girl they meet
  • The respect that she needs, it isn't a gift
  • But it gets hard to lift yourself up
  • When you don't have the strength to begin with
  • Why can't a woman stand alone?
  • Why can't a baby sleep at night and dream of the time to come
  • And never fear the world outside the touch of someone very near
  • Why can't a man stand up?
  • Why can't a man stand up?
  • Why can't a man stand alone?
