Lyrics for Why Cant A Man Stand Alone by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Why Cant A Man Stand Alone | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | Why can't a man stand alone?
Must he be burdened by all that he's taught to consider his
own?
His skin and his station, his kin and his crown, his flag and his nation
They just
weigh him down
You know pride is a sin that we tend to forgive
But it gets hard to
live
When you don't have the love in her heart to begin with
Why can't a man stand
alone?
Why can't a woman be just what she seems?
Must she be tarnished by men who can
only be men in their dreams?
When beauty meets ignorance they shout in the street
Repeating
their offer to each girl they meet
The respect that she needs, it isn't a gift
But it gets
hard to lift yourself up
When you don't have the strength to begin with
Why can't a woman
stand alone?
Why can't a baby sleep at night and dream of the time to come
And never
fear the world outside the touch of someone very near
Why can't a man stand up?
Why can't a
man stand up?
Why can't a man stand alone? | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
