Lyrics

Oh how she tried to cut him down to sizeTelling dirty lies to his friendsBut his own father said give her up, don't botherThe world isn't coming to and end, he said..."Walk like a man, talk like a man my sonNo woman's worth crawling on the earth so walk like a man my son"Bye baby, I don't mean maybeGonna get along somehowSoon she'll be crying on account of all her lyingOh yeah just look who's laughing now. He's gonna...Walk like a man, fast as he can, walk like a man from youHe'll tell the world "Forget about it girl, I'd walk like a man from you."Oh how she tried to cut him down to sizeTelling dirty lies to his friendsBut his own father said give her up, don't botherThe world isn't coming to and end, he said...Walk like a man, talk like a man my sonNo woman's worth crawling on the earth so walk like a man my son
