Now who breaks a heart like a child breaks a toy
It's a man ev'ry, time it's a man
Who brings the heartaches and takes all the joy
It's a man, ev'ry time it's a man

When a man makes a blunder the whole world forgives
While she has to suffer as long as she lives
Then who's to blame if her head hangs in shame
It's a man, ev'ry time it's a man

(Instrumental Break)

When a man makes a blunder the whole world forgives
While she has to suffer as long as she lives
Then who's to blame if her head hangs in shame
It's a man, ev'ry time it's a man
It's a man, ev'ry time it's a man
