[00:11.23]My mum and I we live alone
[00:14.22]A great apartment is our home
[00:18.20]In Fairhome Towers
[00:23.05]I have to keep me company
[00:25.24]Two dogs, a cat, a parakeet
[00:29.20]Some plants and flowers
[00:34.03]I help my mother with the chores
[00:36.24]I wash, she dries, I do the floors
[00:40.21]We work together
[00:45.11]I shop and cook and sow a bit
[00:48.01]Though mum does too I must admit
[00:52.23]I do it better
[00:56.13]At night I work in a strange bar
[00:59.08]Impersonating every star
[01:02.23]I'm quite deceiving
[01:07.07]The customers come in with doubt
[01:10.00]And wonder what I'm all about
[01:13.12]But leave believing
[01:18.06]I do a very special show
[01:21.00]Where I am nude from head to toe
[01:25.01]After stripteasing
[01:28.24]Each night the men look so surprised
[01:31.22]I change my *** before their eyes
[01:34.12]Tell me if you can
[01:35.24]What makes a man a man
[01:42.11]Around three o'clock or so I meet
[01:45.08]With friends to have a bite to eat
[01:49.03]And conversation
[01:53.13]We love to empty out our hearts
[01:56.15]On every subject from the arts to liberation
[02:04.11]We love to pull apart someone
[02:07.00]And spread some gossip just for fun
[02:10.21]Or start a rumor
[02:15.05]We let our hair down, so to speak
[02:17.23]And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek
[02:21.10]And inside humor
[02:26.01]So many times we have to pay
[02:28.20]For having fun and being gay
[02:32.18]It's not amusing
[02:36.19]There's always those that spoil our games
[02:39.13]By finding fault and calling names
[02:43.03]Always accusing
[02:47.07]They draw attention to themselves
[02:50.07]At the expense of someone else
[02:53.18]It's so confusing
[02:57.21]Yet they make fun of how I talk
[03:00.22]And imitate the way I walk
[03:03.10]Tell me if you can
[03:04.19]What makes a man a man
[03:11.12]My masquerade comes to an end
[03:14.10]when I go home to bed again
[03:18.13]Alone and friendless
[03:22.12]I close my eyes, I think of him
[03:25.03]And fantasize what might have been
[03:28.22]My dreams are endless
[03:32.22]We love each other but it seems
[03:35.14]The love is only in my dreams
[03:39.10]It's so one sided
[03:43.07]But in this life I must confess
[03:45.21]The search for love and happiness
[03:49.04]Is unrequited
[03:53.11]I ask myself what I have got
[03:56.08]And what I am and what I'm not
[03:59.18]What have I given
[04:04.00]The answers come from those who make
[04:06.17]The rules that some of us must break
[04:10.05]Just to keep living
[04:14.14]I know my life is not a crime
[04:17.06]I'm just a victim of my time
[04:20.21]I stand defenseless
[04:25.05]Nobody has the right to be
[04:27.17]The judge of what is right for me
[04:30.11]Tell me if you can
[04:31.19]What make a man a man

My mum and I we live alone
A great apartment is our home
In Fairhome Towers
I have to keep me company
Two dogs, a cat, a parakeet
Some plants and flowers
I help my mother with the chores
I wash, she dries, I do the floors
We work together
I shop and cook and sow a bit
Though mum does too I must admit
I do it better
At night I work in a strange bar
Impersonating every star
I'm quite deceiving
The customers come in with doubt
And wonder what I'm all about
But leave believing
I do a very special show
Where I am nude from head to toe
After stripteasing
Each night the men look so surprised
I change my *** before their eyes
Tell me if you can
What makes a man a man
Around three o'clock or so I meet
With friends to have a bite to eat
And conversation
We love to empty out our hearts
On every subject from the arts to liberation
We love to pull apart someone
And spread some gossip just for fun
Or start a rumor
We let our hair down, so to speak
And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek
And inside humor
So many times we have to pay
For having fun and being gay
It's not amusing
There's always those that spoil our games
By finding fault and calling names
Always accusing
They draw attention to themselves
At the expense of someone else
It's so confusing
Yet they make fun of how I talk
And imitate the way I walk
Tell me if you can
What makes a man a man
My masquerade comes to an end
when I go home to bed again
Alone and friendless
I close my eyes, I think of him
And fantasize what might have been
My dreams are endless
We love each other but it seems
The love is only in my dreams
It's so one sided
But in this life I must confess
The search for love and happiness
Is unrequited
I ask myself what I have got
And what I am and what I'm not

The rules that some of us must break
