Baby, tell me… what's a man supposed to be?

La la la la la, la la la la la

I used to open doors, now they slam 'em in my face

Carry heavy bags, but they say that's out of place

Fix the car on Sunday, now they call it toxic grace

Every little move I make puts me in last place

They want me strong but never loud

Protective but never proud

Sensitive but not too much

I’m walking on a wire, losing every touch

What's a man to do? (Tell me, baby, what's a man to do?)

When every road I take just leads me back to you

Saying all men are trash, all men are the same

But you still want my shoulder when you're crying in the rain

Oh, what's a man to do?

La la la la la, la la la la la

I tried to be a leader, they said "Sit down, king"

Tried to be a follower, they said "Where's your spine?"

Tried to show emotion, got told "Man up, don't you whine"

Now I'm stuck in no-man's-land, running out of time

They curse the hunter, curse the shield

Want the fire but hate the heat

Demand the harvest, burn the seed

I'm lost between the lines they keep rewriting for me

What's a man to do? (Tell me, baby, what's a man to do?)

When every road I take just leads me back to you

Saying all men are trash, all men are the same

But you still want my shoulder when you're crying in the rain

Oh, what's a man to do?

I was born to stand tall, now I'm shrinking every day

Trying to be everything, but nothing feels okay

You say you want a real man, but you hate him when he stays

Baby, draw the map for me, 'cause I'm lost along the way

What's a man to do… when the world's gone upside down?

What's a man to do… when every smile becomes a frown?

All men are guilty in the court of modern view

But darling, without us… tell me, who protects you?

Oh, what's a man… what's a man… to do?

La la la la la… what's a man to do?
