Walk Like A Man
Frankie Valli (And Four Seasons) · Working My Way Back To You [2012]
Walk like a man...
Oh, how you tried
To cut me down to size
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 it)
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.
Walk, walk, walk, walk...
Goodbye, baby
I dont mean maybe
I'm gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be cryin'
On account of all your lyin'
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.
Walk, walk, walk, walk...
Walk, walk, walk, walk...
Walk, walk, walk, walk...
Walk, walk, walk, walk...
Walk Like A Man
Frankie Valli's "Walk Like A Man" stands as a defining track from the Four Seasons' 1968 album *Working My Way Back To You*. Released during the height of the group's vocal harmony success, the song exemplifies the band's signature blend of pop sensibility and dramatic orchestration. Valli's distinctive falsetto delivers the lead vocals with a raw intensity that characterizes the era's greatest hits. The recording captures the transition of the Four Seasons from their earlier rock-oriented sound to a more polished, mature pop style, featuring lush arrangements and tight harmonies. As a staple of the group's discography, the song remains a powerful representation of late 1960s American vocal pop, showcasing Valli's enduring vocal prowess and the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant melodies that have endured for decades.
