Take It Like a Man
[Intro]
Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can

[Verse 1]
They say it's better to love and to lose it all
I didn't learn how to fly without a heavy fall
I went from A to Z, blew off reality (I take it all in my stride)
So if my love is a game, then you should learn the rules
You take it on, if you're leaving, wonder why you lose
It takes a wiser man to figure out my head (Babe, it's all from my heart)

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been in love, went through the other side
Seen the other side
I'm not about to fall into another tonight
So get it right

[Chorus]
Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can (Take my heart)
So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man (Take my heart)
[Verse 2]
I've seen and done it all
I've been misunderstood
But tell me what could be bad about feeling good?
It's all or nothing now
'Cause fate don't wait around (Give me all that you are)

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been in love, went through the other side
I've seen the other side
I'm not about to fall into another tonight
So get it right

[Chorus]
Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can (Take my heart)
So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man (Take my heart)

[Bridge]
Sometimes it feels
Like we've got everything to prove
We make believe
But we rise again to face the truth
On and on, on and on, we're going
On and on, on and on, it's growing
On and on, on and on, only the real
Know the deal
[Chorus]
Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can (Take my heart)
So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man (Take my heart)

[Outro]
How does it feel? We do it better
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better
We do it better
How does it feel? We do it better
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better
We do it better
How does it feel? We do it better
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better
