About The Song
“Walk Like a Man” is a hit song by The Four Seasons, featuring the distinctive counterpoint of Nick Massi’s bass voice and Frankie Valli’s falsetto. Released in 1963, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and reached number three on the R&B Singles chart.
The song revolves around themes of masculinity and accountability, with the protagonist reflecting on lost love and the need to take responsibility for one’s actions. Despite its title seeming like a humorous contradiction, the song’s emotional depth and vocal performance have earned it critical acclaim.
Lyrics
Ooo-Wee-Ooooooh-Wa
(Walk, walk, walk, walk)
Ooo-Wee-Ooooooh
Walk like a man
Oh, how you tried
To cut me down to size
By telling dirty lies to my friends
But my own father
Said give her up, don't bother
The world isn't coming to an end
He said walk like a man
Talk like a man
Walk like a man my son
No woman's worth
Crawling on the earth
So walk like a man my son
Ooo-Wee-Ooooooh-Wa
(Walk, walk, walk, walk)
Ooo-Wee-Ooooooh-Wa
Fine eyed baby
I don't mean maybe
We're gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be crying
On 'count of all you're lying
Oh yeah, just look who's laughing now
I'm gonna walk like a man
Fast as I can
Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world
Forget about it girl
And walk like a man from you
Ooo-Wee-Ooooooh-Wa
(Walk, walk, walk, walk)
Ooo-Wee-Ooooooh-Wa
(Walk, walk, walk, walk)
Ooo-Wee-Ooooooh-Wa
(Walk, walk, walk, walk)
