Divine, "You Think You're A Man"
(1984)

You think you're a man

Man - boy, man - boy
Man - boy, man - boy

Man, boy

Turn around
Stand up like a man and look me in the eye
Turn around
Take one final look at what you've left behind

Then walk away
From the greatest lover you have ever known
Yes walk away
You're telling me that you can make it
On your own, by yourself
All alone, without my help
Mister you just made a big mistake

You think you're a man
But you're only a boy
You think you're a man
You are only a toy
You think you're a man
But you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

Shut the door
Take a look around and tell me what you find
Shut the door
Take a giant step for you and all mankind

Then don't come back
I always gave you so much more than you deserve
Now don't come back
'Cause no one makes a fool of me
You've got a nerve to walk away
Mark the words I'm gonna say
Mister you just made a big mistake

You think you're a man
But you're only a boy
You think you're a man
You are only a toy
You think you're a man
But you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

Man - boy, man - boy
Man - boy, man - boy

Man - boy, man - boy
Man - boy, man - boy

You think you're a man
But you're only a boy
You think you're a man
You are only a toy
You think you're a man
But you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

Shut the door
Take a look around and tell me what you find
Shut the door
Take a giant step for you and all mankind
Then don't come back

I always gave you so much more than you deserve
Now don't come back
'Cause no one makes a fool of me
You've got a nerve to walk away
Mark the words I'm gonna say
Mister you just made a big mistake

You think you're a man
But you're only a boy
You think you're a man
You are only a toy
You think you're a man
But you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

You think you're a man
But you're only a boy
You think you're a man
You are only a toy
You think you're a man
But you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

Man - boy - toy

You think you're a man
But you're only a boy
You think you're a man
You are only a toy
You think you're a man
But you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

You think you're a man
But you're only a boy
You think you're a man
You are only a toy
You think you're a man
But you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

You think you're a man
But you're only a boy
You think you're a man
You are only a toy

Thanks, Lauren!
