[Verse 1]
Men take you in their arms
Men give security
Men cry in secret
Men need a lot of tenderness
Oh, men are so vulnerable
Men are simply irreplaceable in this world
[Verse 2]
Men buy women
Men are constantly under power
Men hit on women like crazy
Men lie on the phone
Oh, men are always ready
Men captivate with their money and their nonchalance
[Chorus]
Men have it hard, take it easy
Hard on the outside and soft on the inside
Already trained for men as a child
When is a man a man?
When is a man a man?
When is a man a man?
[Verse 3]
Men have muscles
Men are terribly strong
Men can do everything
Men get a heart attack
Oh, men are lonely fighters
Have to go through every wall, have to go on and on
[Chorus]
Men have it hard, take it easy
Hard on the outside and soft on the inside
Already trained for men as a child
When is a man a man?
When is a man a man?
When is a man a man?
[Verse 4]
Men fight wars
Men are already blue as babies
Men smoke a pipe
Men are terribly clever
Men build rockets
Men do everything very, very precisely
[Chorus]
When is a man a man?
When is a man a man?
[Verse 5]
Men don't have children
Men get thin hair
Men are people too
Men are a bit strange
Oh, men are so vulnerable
Men are simply irreplaceable in this world
[Chorus]
Men have it hard, take it easy
Hard on the outside and soft on the inside
Already trained for men as a child
When is a man a man?
When is a man a man?
When is a man a man?
[Outro]
Oh, when is a man a man?
Oh, when is a man a man?
When are you a man?
Man, man, man, man
When are you a man?
When is a man a man?
