How do I begin? What more can I say?
She's upset your life and thrown it all away...
Though you seem surprised, know what she is done,
I've seen it in her eyes, it's plain to everyone...
Why don't you stand up like a man?
(Why don't you stand up like a man?)
Don't try pretending anymore,
And it's no good crying for a love that's dying,
'Cause she won't come running like before...
You've gotta stand up like a man
(You've gotta stand up like a man)
You've lost the love and arms for sure,
Though your life is shaking and your heart is breaking
Don't you know it's happened all before...
Time alone can't heal and take away the pain,
In spite of all you feel, you'll fall in love again...
Why don't you stand up like a man?
(Why don't you stand up like a man?)
Don't try pretending anymore,
And it's no good crying for a love that's dying,
'Cause she won't come running like before...
You've gotta stand up like a man
(You've gotta stand up like a man)
You've lost the love and arms for sure,
Though your life is shaking and your heart is breaking
Don't you know it's happened all before....
