[Verse 1]
A A
Boy meets girl it's a delicate thing, so much time spent wondering
E E
If what you see is... what you get
A A
I keep looking for a friend and a lover, when I find one he ain't the other
E E
Sometimes, I just a-want to quit
B B
One wants a maid one needs his mother, they either want space or they want to smother me
A B N.C.
And my poor heart needs somebody who
[Chorus]
E E
Can take it like a man, steady and strong, not a lot of fuss and carrying on
A E
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
E E
Take it like a man who knows about love, and every little thing that a girl dreams of
A B
Someone wise enough to understand
F#m G#m A E
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man
[Verse 2]
A A
I met somebody the other night, started thinking he was Mr. Right
E E
Wrong, I might have never known
A A
If a friend hadn't brought it to my attention, he's got a wife he forgot to mention
E E
Girl, leave that fool alone,
B B
I keep hoping and telling myself, somewhere there's one good one left
A B
Cause my poor heart needs somebody who
[Chorus]
E E
Can take it like a man, steady and strong, not a lot of fuss and carrying on
A E
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
E E
Take it like a man who knows about love, and every little thing that a girl dreams of
A B
Someone wise enough to understand
F#m G#m A E
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man
[Instumental]
(E) E A E
E E A B N.C.
[Chorus]
E E
Take it like a man, steady and strong, not a lot of fuss and carrying on
A E
True to a promise I can ride in a storm
E E
Take it like a man who knows about love, and every little thing that a girl dreams of
A B
Someone wise enough to understand
F#m G#m A E
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man
[Outro]
E E
take it like a man

Well honey if you want my heart you gotta take it like a man
E E
Take it like a man take it like a man
