Daddy told me a man must be strong And hold what he feels inside Women want heroes with nerves made of steel Sittin' tall on the white horse they ride.
So, I won't cry when you say goodbye, I'll just let you go I'll stick to my guns, Like father like son.
I'll take it like a man And watch you walk away I'll take it like a man You'll never know I feel the blow I should get down on my knees But I was raised to take a stand Hide my tears and take it like a man.
Daddy told me don't ever show pain 'Cause a real man will never give in But the lessons he taught me just get in the way With the threads of our love wearing thin.
The family tradition Taught me to be proud But what good is pride If it kills me inside to.
Take it like a man And watch you walk away I'll take it like a man You'll never know I feel the blow I should get down on my knees But I was raised to take a stand Hide my tears and take it like a man.
I'd get down on my knees But I was raised to take a stand Hide my tears and take it like a man...
