[Verse 1]

Real men don't need other people, and

Real men suck it in

Real men don't flinch or bleed in public

Oh, I think I'm a real man

Little boys cry and look around for comfort, and

Always get what they want

Little boys see toys and say, "I can take that"

Oh, you are my little boy, oh


[Chorus]

Though honestly, sir, all I wanna do

Is get naked in front of you

So you can look me up and down and tell me

"Well done, girl, you're looking good"


[Verse 2]

Real men keep cool in the face of a fire

Go down with the ship

And real men don't eat, 'cause they're above that, damn it

Oh, I'm gonna be a real man, oh, oh


[Chorus]

Though honestly, sir, all I wanna do

Is get naked in front of you

So you can look me up and down

And give me your love for being so good


[Verse 3]

But little boys hold me, color me, praise me

Make me feel lovely for a little while

So little boy, say you want me, 'cause, well, I can't take it

Go ahead, do it, do it
