WELL I WAS A YOUNG BOY, LANKY AND LEAN.
A TIME TO TRAVEL, WHERE I'D NEVER BEEN,
I BOOKED A FLIGHT FOR .... AM--STER--DAM,
CHANGE OF PLANS, MAN .. AF--GHAN-- I--STAN! MAN!
BALLS TO WALLS... HIGH TIMES, CLOSE CALLS, I HAD A FEW.
YEAH, I WAS LIV'N LIKE A MAN, LIV'N LIKE A MAN.
WELL I HAD THE FEVER, AND I NEEDED A CURE,
MY BROTHER SAID, COME ON A THREE SEMI TOUR.
COAST TO COAST, CONQUEROO, TOWN TO TOWN,
WE ROCKED THOSE ROOMS, TILL THE LAW SHUT 'EM DOWN
THERE WERE BLONDES, BRUNETTES, EVERY KIND OF EXCESS, AND I CONFESS
I HAD A FEW, I WAS LIV'N LIKE A MAN, LIV'N LIKE A MAN.
ANYTIME AT ALL.. YOU'RE FEEL'N TWO FOOT SMALL,
THAT'S ALRIGHT,... SOMETIMES WE GET LONELY,
BUT, TO YOUR SELF BE TRUE, IT'S ALL HERE JUST FOR YOU,
TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT, ... SOME WAY, SOME HOW,
YEAH TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT YO! DO IT NOW!
WELL, I CHASED MY FATE DOWN LUMBO WAY,
A TWO-BIT HYPOCRITE, STOLE MY HEART AWAY.
HARD LESSON LEARNED, BETRAYED AT EVERY TURN,
LORD YOU KNOW, I HAD SOME DUES TO PAY!
BUT I LICKED MY WOUNDS, WHILE I WROTE THESE TUNES. HA!
AND I GOT A FEW.
I WAS LIV'N LIKE A MAN, LIV'N LIKE A MAN.
ANYTIME AT ALL.. YOU'RE FEEL'N TWO FOOT SMALL,
THAT'S ALRIGHT,... SOMETIMES WE GET LONELY,
BUT, TO YOUR HEART BE TRUE, IT'S ALL HERE JUST FOR YOU,
TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT, ... SOME WAY, SOME HOW,
YEAH TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT YO! DO IT NOW!
WELL I'M SORRY BABY, FOR THE THINGS I DONE,
BUT I'D DO 'EM AGAIN, I'LL TELL EVERYONE,
I'M A MAN, . HARD, STRONG AND TRUE,
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT I'VE PUT MYSELF THROUGH.
BUT I'M DONE WITH LIES,
AND I WON'T COMPROMISE, MY DREAMS FOR YOU.
I'M LIV'N, LIV'N LIKE A MAN
HEY, HEY, HEY!
