What has he got? If not himself then he has not To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels, oh oh Let the record show, let it show you took some blows And did it your way [Outro] Ah, tell me, what is a man? Oh, hear me now, what has he got? If he don't have himself, then let me leave you with it, he has not Anytime he cannot say the things that he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels Let the record show, let it show you took some blows And did it your way, oh yeah
