What Makes A Man - Charles Aznavour[00:00:00]

My mum and I we live alone[00:00:12]

A great apartment is our home[00:00:14]

In Fairhome Towers[00:00:18]

I have to keep me company[00:00:22]

Two cats a dog a parakeet[00:00:23]

Some plants and flowers[00:00:28]

I help my mother with the chores[00:00:31]

I wash she dries I do the floors[00:00:33]

We work together[00:00:38]

I shop and cook and sow a bit[00:00:42]

Though mum does too I must admit[00:00:45]

I do it better[00:00:47]

At night I work in a strange bar[00:00:51]

Impersonating every star[00:00:54]

I'm quite deceiving[00:00:58]

The customers come in with doubt[00:01:01]

And wonder what I'm all about[00:01:04]

But leave believing[00:01:07]

I do a very special show[00:01:11]

Where I am nude from head to toe[00:01:13]

After stripteasing[00:01:17]

Each night the men look so surprised[00:01:21]

I change my sex before their eyes[00:01:23]

Tell me if you can[00:01:25]

What makes a man a man[00:01:27]

At three oclock or so I meet[00:01:33]

With friends to have a bite to eat[00:01:36]

And conversation[00:01:39]

We told to empty out our hearts[00:01:43]

On every subject from the arts[00:01:45]

To liberation[00:01:49]

We love to pull apart someone[00:01:52]

And spread some gossip just for fun[00:01:55]

Or start a rumor[00:01:58]

We let our hair down so to speak[00:02:02]

And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek[00:02:04]

And inside humor[00:02:07]

So many times we have to pay[00:02:12]

For having fun and being gay[00:02:14]

It's not amusing[00:02:18]

There's always those that spoil our games[00:02:21]

By finding fault and calling names[00:02:24]

Always accusing[00:02:27]

They draw attention to themselves[00:02:31]

At the expense of someone else[00:02:33]

It's so confusing[00:02:37]

Yet they make fun of how I talk[00:02:40]

And imitate the way I walk[00:02:43]

Tell me if you can[00:02:45]

What makes a man a man[00:02:47]

My masquerade comes to an end[00:02:53]

When I go home to bed again[00:02:55]

Alone and friendless[00:02:58]

I close my eyes I think of him[00:03:02]

I fantasize what might have been[00:03:05]

My dreams are endless[00:03:08]

We love each other but it seems[00:03:11]

The love is only in my dreams[00:03:13]

It's so one sided[00:03:18]

But in this life I must confess[00:03:21]

The search for love and happiness[00:03:23]

Is unrequited[00:03:26]

I ask myself what I have got[00:03:31]

Of what I am and what I'm not[00:03:33]

What have I given[00:03:37]

The answers come from those who make[00:03:40]

The rules that some of us must break[00:03:42]

Just to keep living[00:03:46]

I know my life is not a crime[00:03:49]

I'm just a victim of my time[00:03:52]

I stand defenseless[00:03:55]

Nobody has the right to be[00:03:59]

The judge of what is right for me[00:04:02]

Tell me if you can[00:04:04]

What makes a man a man[00:04:05]
