[00:11.23]My mum and I we live alone
[00:14.22]A great apartment is our home
[00:18.20]In Fairhome Towers
[00:23.05]I have to keep me company
[00:25.24]Two dogs, a cat, a parakeet
[00:29.20]Some plants and flowers
[00:34.03]I help my mother with the chores
[00:36.24]I wash, she dries, I do the floors
[00:40.21]We work together
[00:45.11]I shop and cook and sow a bit
[00:48.01]Though mum does too I must admit
[00:52.23]I do it better
[00:56.13]At night I work in a strange bar
[00:59.08]Impersonating every star
[01:02.23]I'm quite deceiving
[01:07.07]The customers come in with doubt
[01:10.00]And wonder what I'm all about
[01:13.12]But leave believing
[01:18.06]I do a very special show
[01:21.00]Where I am nude from head to toe
[01:25.01]After stripteasing
[01:28.24]Each night the men look so surprised
[01:31.22]I change my sex before their eyes
[01:34.12]Tell me if you can
[01:35.24]What makes a man a man
[01:42.11]Around three o'clock or so I meet
[01:45.08]With friends to have a bite to eat
[01:49.03]And conversation
[01:53.13]We love to empty out our hearts
[01:56.15]On every subject from the arts to liberation
[02:04.11]We love to pull apart someone
[02:07.00]And spread some gossip just for fun
[02:10.21]Or start a rumor
[02:15.05]We let our hair down, so to speak
[02:17.23]And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek
[02:21.10]And inside humor
[02:26.01]So many times we have to pay
[02:28.20]For having fun and being gay
[02:32.18]It's not amusing
[02:36.19]There's always those that spoil our games
[02:39.13]By finding fault and calling names
[02:43.03]Always accusing
[02:47.07]They draw attention to themselves
[02:50.07]At the expense of someone else
[02:53.18]It's so confusing
[02:57.21]Yet they make fun of how I talk
[03:00.22]And imitate the way I walk
[03:03.10]Tell me if you can
[03:04.19]What makes a man a man
[03:11.12]My masquerade comes to an end
[03:14.10]when I go home to bed again
[03:18.13]Alone and friendless
[03:22.12]I close my eyes, I think of him
[03:25.03]And fantasize what might have been
[03:28.22]My dreams are endless
[03:32.22]We love each other but it seems
[03:35.14]The love is only in my dreams
[03:39.10]It's so one sided
[03:43.07]But in this life I must confess
[03:45.21]The search for love and happiness
[03:49.04]Is unrequited
[03:53.11]I ask myself what I have got
[03:56.08]And what I am and what I'm not
[03:59.18]What have I given
[04:04.00]The answers come from those who make
[04:06.17]The rules that some of us must break
[04:10.05]Just to keep living
[04:14.14]I know my life is not a crime
[04:17.06]I'm just a victim of my time
[04:20.21]I stand defenseless
[04:25.05]Nobody has the right to be
[04:27.17]The judge of what is right for me
[04:30.11]Tell me if you can
[04:31.19]What make a man a man
[04:40.01]
