The Four Tops - Are You Man Enough? lyrics

[Verse 1] There's not a street that you can walk You got to watch just who you're talking to They're out to get ya, can't turn your back on a smiling face Next thing you know, there ain't no trace of you And this I betcha, some people lose and some folks win It's a matter of what they do [Chorus] Are you man enough, big and bad enough? Are you gonna let 'em shoot you down? When the evil flies and your brother cries Are you gonna be around? Someone needs a friend, just around the bend Don't ya think you should be there? Are you man enough when the going's rough? Is it in your heart to care? [Verse 2] There's no pretending it goes away With every step that you take you pay your dues and I ain't lying You got to struggle to see the light How someone's looking to steal your right to choose And that don't stop trying It's like a jungle outside the door and it's keeping you so confused [Chorus] Are you man enough, big and bad enough? Are you gonna let 'em shoot you down? When the evil flies and your brother cries Are you gonna be around? [Bridge] Gotta keep your eye on the pa**ers-by, better watch your step Because you never know where the knife would go And they ain't missed yet The strong survive, they stay alive, they always do But nothin' they ever teach you is true [Chorus] Are you man enough, big and bad enough? Are you gonna let 'em shoot you down? When the evil flies, and your brother cries Are you gonna be around? Someone needs a friend, just around the bend Don't ya think you should be there? Are you man enough when the going gets rough? Is it in your heart to care? Are you man enough, big and bad enough? (Are you big and bad enough?) Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down? When the evil flies, brother cries (And your brother sighs) Are you gonna be around?
