Half a Man Lyrics

(Tonio K./Bob Thiele, Jr.)

i know you're not the only woman in the world
there's a lot of people baby
more than half of them are girls
i hear you sayin' you'll be doin' me a favor
to eliminate our problems and be goin' your way
well i've been walkin' in the cool, cool light
the day is over but it isn't quite night
i've been thinkin' about the meanin' of real love
hey girl
i would be half a man if i gave you up
half a man if i said i'd had enough
half a man to take the easy way out
half the men in the world would do it
but girl that's not what love's about

ain't nothin' easy about this growin' up
but we're gonna have to do it, girl, if we're lucky
that don't mean that we can't have a little fun
it doesn't mean that we renounce the joy of bein' young
it only means that there's a new set of rules
you can't just run off when you're hurt and confused
when we were children we were free to act like a child
but now
you wanna run and i wanna fight on
for your love, for your precious love
because you're worth it baby
