When I was just a little boy
When I didn't know
My daddy put me on his knee
And showed me the way to go

He said, "A woman will do her best
To make a fool out of you
So be a man and stand the test
And see what you can do"

I'm glad I am
Born a man
I'm glad I am
Born a man

If you got what it takes, my boy
You can always choose
Work it out before it's too late, my boy
Make sure you never lose

I'm glad I am
Born a man
I'm glad I am
Born a man

Born a man
Born a man
Born a man
Born a man
Born a man
Born a man
Born a man

I am born a man
I am born a man
I am born a man
I am born a man
I am

You don't believe what I say?

Every woman wants her man
To live and learn on her land
Where I go, baby you go
Arrangement, man and wife

I'm glad I am
Born a man
I'm glad I am
Born a man

Born a man
Born a man
Born a man
