[Intro]
      
      
      
      



[Verse 1]
              
I don't expect

        
 flowers
              
I don't expect

      
 rings
              
I don't expect

     
 promises
N.C.
A sentimental thing


[Chorus]
             
I just expect 

      
you
              
To be the man 

    
you are
             
I just expect 

      
you
             
To be the man 

             
you are


[Verse 2]
              
I don't expect

         
 sobriety
              
I don't expect

 
 stealth
             
I don't expect

             
 you'll ever b

        
e a man
N.C.
Defined by your wealth


[Chorus]
             
I just expect 

      
you
              
To be the man 

    
you are
             
I just expect 

      
you
             
To be the man 

             
you are


[Bridge]
             
When a woman l

           
oves a man
             
She'll do anyt

             
hing he asks
              
She'll do anyt

     
hing she can
             
When a woman l

            
oves a man


[Verse 3]
              
I don't expect

          
 accolades
              
I don't expect

       
 prizes
              
I don't expect

             
 you'll ever s

          
ee a babe
N.C.
In different guises


[Chorus]
             
I just expect 

      
you
             
To be the man 

      
you are
            
I just expect 

    
you
            
To be the man 

      
you are
              
To be the man 

       
you are
             
Be the man you

     
 are
             
Be the man you

     
 are
             
Be the man you

     
 are
              
Be the man you
