Lyrics
Think Like a Man
(Intro)
I. I'm a single lady. See...
My car went, (sound effects).
Scared th' b'Jesus outta me...
I got to thinkin', what would a man do in my place?
(Bridge) Think like a man. Think like a man. Think like a man, then you can!
Think like a man. Think like a man. Think like a man, then you can!
(Chorus)
Bought a roll a duct tape, a can a WD-40.
Tap a keg a beer and now we party!
You gotta think like a man, hang out with your friends, 'cause when sompin' needs fixin', they all pitch in!
Flat head, Phillips head, you better know th' dif'.
If you think like a man, you can scratch yo'self! Ou! Ou!
II. So, he took me fishin'. Hey...
With live bait, a worm, a worm, a worm!
Didn't wanna touch it, no way...
He said to man up. I caught th' biggest fish and saved face!
(Bridge) Think like a man. Think like a man. Think like a man, then you can!
Think like a man. Think like a man. Think like a man, then you can!
III. Then he let me drive it. Wow...
I stepped on th' gas, th' gas, th' gas!
Burned a lot a rubber in town...
I came up smokin'. Showed my man. Won th' race!
(Chorus)
Bought a roll a duct tape, a can a WD-40.
Tap a keg a beer and now we party!
You gotta think like a man, hang out with your friends, 'cause when sompin' needs fixin', they all pitch in!
Flat head, Phillips head, you better know th' dif'.
If you think like a man, you can scratch yo'self!
(Bridge) Think like a man. Think like a man. Think like a man, then you can!
Think like a man. Think like a man. Think like a man, then you can!
(Tag) I'm onna fix it, 'til I break it!
I'm onna fix it, (Directions?) 'til I break it! (What directions?)
I'm onna fix it, (Directions?) 'til I break it! (What directions?)
I'm onna fix it, 'til I break it!
I'm onna fix it, (What directions?) 'til I break it!
I'm onna fix it, 'til I break it!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
(Sound effects: fart & man peeing)
