lyrics

Well I feel a little anxious and out of control
I gotta get a grip before the fear takes hold
I’ve got to Man Up
I’ve got to Man Up

I’m so emotional, I don’t why
But the sight of a mushroom makes me want to cry
I’ve got to Man Up
I’ve got to Get a Grip

There’s a shadow in the corner, there’s an image in my head
I can’t deal with reality so I make it up instead
But the pressure is upon my to live up to my sex
Am I strong enough / rich enough / hard enough / tough enough
I’ve got to Man Up

You say that I do as I please
That I’ve got to take on responsibilities
I’ve got to Man Up
I’ve got to Grow Up

The expectation is killing me
My gender role in society
I’ve got to Man Up
I’ve got to Buckle Up

There’s a shadow in the corner, there’s an image in my head
I can’t deal with reality so I make it up instead
But the pressure is upon my to live up to my sex
Am I strong enough / rich enough / hard enough / tough enough
I’ve got to Man Up

Confrontation, well I always hide
I retreat behind my feminine side
I’ve got to Man Up
I’ve got to duff someone up

And if I seem a little anxious and out of control
I’ve got to get a grip before the fear takes hold
I’ve got to Man Up
I’ve got to beat someone up

There’s a shadow in the corner, there’s an image in my head
I can’t deal with reality so I make it up instead
But the pressure is upon my to live up to my sex
Am I strong enough / rich enough / hard enough / tough enough
I’ve got to Man Up
