(You Can't Let The Boy Overpower) The Man In You - The Miracles

No don’t you know my daddy told me

Told me right from the start

About youth

He said no matter how old a man is

He’s partly a boy in his heart

Yeah, and that’s the truth

He said you’d be surprised by the things you do now

That you’re still gonna do

Oh, but you will

Like when it comes to the way

You treat your woman

You can’t let the boy overpower the man in you

Oh, let me tell you that

Every man, has to understand

That you can go out with the fellas

But if the boy in ya tells ya, stay late

Yeah, late at night

You know that if you stop to think about it

The man in you is gonna say when

'Cause it isn’t right

Oh, you’d be surprised by the things

That a man who loves his woman, won’t do

Oh, but you will

'Cause when it comes to the way

You treat your woman

You can’t let the boy overpower the man in you

Just one more thing now that

All guys gotta realize

That they are many pretty women

But if a boy ever looks their way, yeah

And winks an eye

You know that if you stop to think about it

The man in you is gonna feel bad

Come on and pass them by

Oh, you’d be surprised by the girls

Who walk on over at you too

Oh, but you will

But when it comes to the way

That you treat your woman

You can’t let the boy overpower the man in you

You know, you know, you know you can’t

No no, the man in you
