Take It Like A Man

by Stan Bush

on Stan Bush & Barrage (1987), Legally Blonde the Musical (Original Cast Recording) [Recorded Live at the Savoy Theatre, London] (2010)

Up all night with my back against the wall
I feel my strength slipping away
There's nowhere to run
And I've got no place to fall
Ooh, we both know your love's gone astray

I won't beg you to stay with me
When I know it's time to let go

I'll take it like a man
Turn and walk away
I've got to face the truth
If my heart must break
I'm gonna take it like a man

There was a time when I thought we had it all
With you at my side I couldn't lose
And I'll never know where it was that we went wrong
I know it's too late but I still love you

No, I won't beg you to stay with me
When I know it's time to let go

I'll take it like a man
Turn and walk away
I've got to face the truth
If my heart must break
I'll take it like a man
Turn and walk away
I've got to face the truth
If my heart must break
I'm gonna take it like a man

Sometimes a man ain't all that he appears
Even though it hurts inside, I'll hide away my tears
And I won't beg you to stay with me
When I know it's time to let go

Take it like a man
Turn and walk away
I've got to face the truth
If my heart must break
I'm gonna take it like a man, take it like a man
Ooh, I'm gonna turn and walk away
Take it like a man, take it like a man
Ooh, turn and walk away
