about this song
"Real Men" is a song about the differences between what society considers a real man versus what society considers a little boy. The lyrics illustrate how real men are expected to be stoic and unaffected by emotion in public, as opposed to little boys who are allowed to seek comfort and express their wants and needs. The singer expresses that, although she would like to emulate the behavior of a real man, she would also like to be praised and loved the way little boys are.
