Take It Like A Man lyrics

[EMMETT]

What is this place?

[ELLE]

It's called... a department store

[EMMETT]

It's... it's beautiful

[ELLE]

Shhh

First, a deep breath

Take it all in

Feel all those halogens warming your skin

Smell how they pump in pure oxygen

See, they care

[SALES ASSISTANT]

'Love'?

[EMMETT]

Excuse me?

[SALES ASSISTANT]

'Love'. It's the new fragrance from Chanel

[EMMETT]

Oh, no, thank you

[ELLE]

I know you're scared

Nevertheless, think of the people you want to impress

Swallow your pride for me

Just nod "yes"

And prepare 'cause something's in the air

[EMMETT]

I think it's 'Love'

[ELLE]

Exactly!

Here you'll become what you're supposed to be

You think you can't, but you can

Think of the guy you want most to be

Here's your chance to make it

So take it like a man

[EMMETT]

What does she want?

Not really sure

Why can't we leave things the way that they were?

Why can I never say "no" to her?

What's that smell?

[SALES ASSISTANT]

'Subtext' by Calvin Klein

[EMMETT]

That I don't like

That's kinda neat

Guys who wear that get beat up on my street

Still, I've come this far

I can't retreat in my shell

I'm in the hands of Elle

What the hell!

[EMMETT/ELLE]

Here you'll become what you're supposed to be

[ENSEMBLE]

Supposed to be

[EMMETT/ELLE]

You think you can't, but you can

[ENSEMBLE]

Yes, you can

[EMMETT/ELLE]

Think of the guy you want most to be

Here's your chance to make it

[EMMETT/ELLE/ENSEMBLE]

So take it like a man

[ELLE]

God, I love shopping for guys

[EMMETT]

Okay, this is strange

[ELLE]

Watching them change right before your eyes

[EMMETT]

Don't watch me change!

[ELLE]

Look at him striking a pose

His confidence grows

[ELLE/ENSEMBLE]

He'll bloom like a rose

[EMMETT]

It's just clothes!

[ELLE]

God, I love shopping for men

[EMMETT]

Okay, this is nice

[ELLE]

They walk in a two, they walk out a ten

[EMMETT]

Is this the price?!

[ELLE]

Don't worry, this is my treat

There's someone I'd like you to meet

[ELLE/EMMETT]

Whoa

[EMMETT]

I look like Warner

[ELLE]

Yeah

[EMMETT]

But it's just me

[ELLE]

That's the best part

The outside is new

But now it reflects what's already in you

Couldn't change that if I wanted to

And I do not

[EMMETT]

Thank you

[ELLE]

No, thank you

This is no gift

It's payment in kind

'Cause you saw beyond all the blonde to my mind

Oh, you have to buy it

What, are you blind?

You look hot!

Is he not hot?

[ENSEMBLE]

He's hot, hot, hot, hot

[ELLE/EMMETT]

Here you'll become what you're supposed to be

You think you can't, but you can

Think of the guy you want most to be

[EMMETT]

Not quite the guy I'd have chose to be

But when she's standing so close to me

I think I like her plan

[ELLE]

Here's your chance to make it

[EMMETT/ENSEMBLE]

A chance to make it

[ELLE]

So take it like

[EMMETT/ENSEMBLE]

So take it like

[ELLE]

A man

[EMMETT]

A man

[ELLE]

A man

[EMMETT]

A man

[ELLE]

A man

[EMMETT]

A man

[ELLE/EMMETT/ENSEMBLE]

A man
