What Is a Man Supposed To Do?

Bobby Weinstein & Eddie Reeves

What is a man supposed to do?

When the dream that he has don’t come true

Should he just give up livin’ and die  

What is a man supposed to do?  

Tell me now,

What is a man supposed to say?

When the one that he loves turns him away

Should he just hang his head down and cry

What is a man supposed to do?  

Recitation:

When a man has pain and tears in his eyes

And he’s lonely…and his honeysuckle heart is breaking

He feels nobody wants him, there ain’t a soul that needs him

And not a human being in the world wants to cast the eyes of love upon him

So tell me, what would you do

And tell me, just tell me

What should I do?  

What is a man supposed to give?   

And how is a man supposed to live?

To find somebody to love

What is a man supposed to do?
