Lyrics:

Gone are the heydays, you're left in the dark
They've gone for a nap or a walk in the park
Remember the good times, they ain't coming back
'Cause after all they are nothing but a pain in the neck

Oh, good times, good times
Heydays and high times

Girl, be a man, oh, girl, be a man
Is it so hard to understand?
Don't call again for a while
'Cause it's so hard to see you cry all the time

Sunny by nature, sunny by name, I know
Bedtime stories of a long time ago
You see, I told you so over, over and over

Girl, be a man, oh, girl, be a man
Is it so hard to understand?
Please don't call again for a while
'Cause it's so hard to see you cry all the time

I was just a boy with the world on his back
Oh, word shaped cookies and pretend heart attacks
I am still the man that you made me with your hands
It was raining in our home, it was raining, oh, no

Girl, be a man, oh, oh, girl, be a man
Is it so hard to understand?
Please don't call again for a while
'Cause it's so hard to see you cry all the time

Girl, be a man, oh, oh, girl, be a man
Is it so hard to understand?
Please don't call again for a while

Girl, be a man
Is it so hard to understand?
Please don't call again for a while
'Cause it's so hard to see you cry all the time
Girl, be a man
