When I was just a little boy, when I didn't know
My daddy put me on his knee and showed me the way to go
He said "a woman will do her best to make a fool out of you
So be a man and stand the test and see what you can do"
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
If you got what it takes my boy
You can always choose
Work it out before it's too late my boy
Make sure you never lose
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
Born a man...
Ev'ry woman wants her man to live and learn on her land
Where I go, baby you go
Arrangement, man and wife
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
Born a man...
My daddy put me on his knee and showed me the way to go
He said "a woman will do her best to make a fool out of you
So be a man and stand the test and see what you can do"
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
If you got what it takes my boy
You can always choose
Work it out before it's too late my boy
Make sure you never lose
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
Born a man...
Ev'ry woman wants her man to live and learn on her land
Where I go, baby you go
Arrangement, man and wife
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
Born a man...
