Take it like a man, don't cry, don't cry.
Take lit like a man, hold your head up high.
Sure she broke your heart, when she said goodbye,
But you, you gotta take it like a man.

Get up on your feet, it's way past dawn.
Get up on your feet, come one, come one.
Everything's the same, except she's gone,
But you, you gotta take it like a man.

Your world will be fine, just don't think about her.
Sun's gonna shine with or without her.
It's only gonna hurt for just a little while.
Go on change your shirt and put on a smile.
Don't say that you can't, 'cause you can, you can,
Come on buddy, take it like a man
Oh come on, come on, take it like a man.
Hold you head up, my don't stand there and cry.
You gotta be a man my friend, you understand
