Arm wrestling competitions
Who had the prettier Mom
Wondered who’d be taller
Asked the same girl to the prom

Love him like a brother
Won’t admit it like a fool
Nobody ever says the words
We know the rules

Chorus:
Wisecracks preferred 
Emotions get stowed
An embarassing prank
That’s the Man Code

When his girl dumped him
I told him she’d do better
He said he agreed with the college
When I got my rejection letter

That’s what best buddies do
They say it without regret
When one fell down or failed 
The other never let him forget

[Chorus]

Bridge:
How about a hug? I don’t think so
Say I love you, brother? That’s not okay
Kiss on both cheeks? So European
Punch on the arm? That’s the American way

[Chorus]
