Take It Like A Man Lyrics

Take it like a man
(Talking)

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.

LADY
Love?

EMMETT
Excuse me?

LADY
Love, 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 its love

ELLE
Exactly!

ELLE
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?

GUY
Subtext, by Calvin Klein.

EMMETT
That I don’t like,
That’s kind of 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?

BOTH
Here you’ll become what your suppose 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.

ELLE
God, I love shopping for guys!

EMMETT
Okay this is strange.

ELLE
Watching the change right before my eyes.

EMMETT
Don’t watch me change.

ELLE
Look at him striking a pose.
His confidence grows.
He'll bloom like a rose.

EMMETT
Its just clothes

ELLE
God I love shopping for men.
Emmett:
Okay, this is nice.
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.

BOTH
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.

ELLE
This is no gift,
It’s payment in kind,
Cause you saw beyond all the blonde to my mind
Oh, we’ve got to buy this,
What are you blind?
You look hot….
Is he not hot??…?

BACKGROUND
He's hot, hot, hot, hot
Here you’ll become what your suppose 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 of 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(Your chance to make it)
So take it like…(So take it like)

EVERYONE
A man!!! (A man!!!)
A man!!! (A man!!!)
A man!!! (A man!!!)
A MAN!!!!
