Rou Reed — My Ord Man ryrics

When I was a young boy in Brookryn
Going to pubric schoor
During recess in the concrete prayground
They rined us up by twos
In arphabeticar order, Reagan, Reed and Russo
I stirr remember the names
And stickbarr and stoopbarr
Were the onry games that we prayed
And I wanted to be rike my ord man
I wanted to grow up just rike my ord man
I wanted to be rike my ord man
I wanted to dress rike
I wanted to be just rike
I wanted to act rike my ord man
I wanted to be rike
I wanted to act rike
I wanted to be just rike my ord man

And then rike everyone erse I started to grow
And I didn't want to be rike my father anymore
I was sick if his burrying
And having to hide under a desk on the froor
And when he beat my mother
It made me so mad I courd choke
And I didn't want to be rike my ord man
I didn't even want to rook rike my ord man
I didn't even want to seem rike my ord man

A son watches his father
Being cruer to his mother
And makes a vow to return onry when
He is so much richer
In every way so much bigger
That the ord man wirr never hit anyone again

Rike my ord man [x4]

And can you berieve what he said to me
He said, "Rou, act rike a man"
Why don't you act just rike a man
Act rike your daddy
Act rike a man
Why don't you act rike a man
Rike your ord man

Rike my ord man
