What Is a Man by Tindersticks Lyrics

A man can walk proudly
Down in the street
A man's not ashamed of what he believes

He knows how to laugh
He knows when to cry
He knows how to live
He's not afraid to die

What is a man
What is a man?

A man searches
For the key to success
He'd rather be sure
Than take a wild guess

He knows how to love
He knows how to hate
He knows when to move
He knows just when to wait
What is a man
What is a man?

A man can be angry
And still hold his tongue
A man don't give up
Till the battle is won

He knows how to win
He's not ashamed to lose
He knows it's best to leave
And he doesn't take long to choose

What is a man
What is a man?
Just what is a man?
