Lyrics
You are tough with your head held high, no one can deny
And you are proud, silence speaks out loud
Your confidence showing
One man with a plan within his hands, you set your goals
With much love to help you fly
This is your time, stand strong and go
You're the kind of man that every little boy
Looks up to and wants to be
You always understand the flip side of the coin and naturally
Hey, kids like to talk to you
And honey, I do too, you've got so much to say
Your universe all in your stock within
With a smile should take you a long way
You're what I call a real man
You're tactical, you take a stand
And then you give it, you give it everything that you've got
Give much of yourself and respect your fellow man, oh
You're the kind of man that every little boy
Looks up to and wants to be
You always understand the flip side of
The coin and honey, naturally, naturally
You're the kind of man that every little boy
Looks up to and wants to be
You always understand the flip side of
The coin and honey, naturally, naturally
Writer(s): Aretha Franklin
