Lyrics

VERSE 1:
IT STARTS OUT REAL SWEET
PURE ECSTASY, SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
THE NIGHTS ARE LONG, THE LOVE IS REAL STRONG
AND THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT AND FREE
BUT ON DOWN THE LINE WHEN THINGS LOOK FINE
HE MAKES HIS MOVE AND STARTS CHEATIN' AND LYIN'
THE BILLS COME IN WHILE HE'S WITH SOME FRIEND AND
YOU PAY YOUR DUES ONCE AGAIN

CHORUS:
AIN'T IT JUST LIKE A MAN, OOH-OOH
AIN'T IT JUST LIKE A MAN
COMIN' ON REAL STRONG LIKE A SAD LOVE SONG
MAKIN' PROMISES AND DEMANDS
AIN'T IT JUST LIKE A MAN, LORD, LORD
AIN'T IT JUST LIKE A MAN..ALWAYS TOOTING HIS HORN
BLOWING UP LIKE A STORM, THEN LEAVIN' JUST AS FAST AS HE CAN

VERSE 2:
HE COMES SNEAKIN' BACK HOME
WHEN YOU'RE ALL ALONE FEELIN' LIKE A LOVE-SICK DOG
HE STARTS SINGIN' THAT TUNE ABOUT WEDDINGS IN JUNE
AND YOU FALL LIKE A BUMP ON A LOG
THEN YOU COME HOME FROM WORK AND YOU FEEL LIKE A JERK CAUSE THE DUDE IS GONE WITHOUT EVEN A WORD
YOU REALIZE IT'S ALL BEEN LIES AND YOU HANG YOUR HEAD
AND CRY-BABY CRY.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
I GUESS THE LAW OF AVERAGES THEY WORK JUST FINE
HE ALWAYS MESSES UP JUST WHEN I THINK HE'S MINE
THE ENDINGS THE SAME EXCEPT WITH DIFFERENT NAMES
YOU THINK I'D LEARN MY LESSON IF HE SHOWS UP AGAIN

( MUSIC INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE)

(REPEAT CHORUS AND OUT)
