You've gone away,
all my pleading got nowhere.
"Now, don't cry,"
you said in the door,
and laughed at me.
So, I immediately called
all my pals and friends.
Why should I not do
as best I can?
No, I'm not a man,
I'm allowed to cry.
No, I'm not a man,
and believe me,
if I dance alone today,
no one will give me a funny look;
I can play and feel heavenly.
No, I'm not a man,
no, I'm not a man.
You've gone away,
and if I'm honest it really hurts.
In order not to die
I'll do what I must,
revert to plan B.
I'll replace my tears with make-up
and put on my tightest dress
and let myself get taken
because I'm up to it.
No, I'm not a man,
I'm allowed to cry.
No, I'm not a man,
and believe me,
if I dance alone today,
no one will give me a funny look;
I can play and feel heavenly.
No, I'm not a man,
no, I'm not a man.
Da-da-da da-da da-dam
No, I'm not a man,
no, I'm not a man,
not a man.
