此曲為加拿大鄉村女歌手Michelle Wright自其1992的專輯《Now and Then》中所釋出的單曲，在美國告示牌鄉村排行榜獲得第10名，在加拿大鄉村榜則是獲得第1名的佳績，也是她個人第一首的冠軍曲。

歌曲的內容也滿有趣的，想找個有擔當、像個男子漢的男友，而遇到的一個只是要女僕、另一個則是需要像媽媽般的被照護，好不容易遇到一個感覺是Mr. Right，卻被朋友警告這位老兄已有家室，趁早閃人為妙。其實，有責任感、有擔當的男性也不少，但倘女方只愛慕虛榮、有公主病等，再好的男人恐也早嚇跑了。

此曲也榮獲加拿大鄉村音樂協會頒發的「年度最佳單曲」和「年度最佳音樂錄影帶」獎。在美國，此曲也為Michelle Wrigh贏得了鄉村音樂學院1993頒發的「最佳新人女歌手」獎。

Boy meets girl, it's a delicate thing
So much time spent wonderin'
If what you see is what you get
I keep lookin' for a friend and a lover
When I find one, he ain't the other
Sometimes, I just wanna quit

One wants a maid, one needs his mother
They either want space or they wanna smother me
And my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carryin' on
True to a promise, I can write in stone
Take it like a man who knows about love
Every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man

I met somebody the other night
I started thinkin' he was Mr. Right, wrong
I might've never known
If a friend hadn't brought it to my attention
"He's got a wife he forgot to mention
Girl, leave that fool alone"

Well, I keep hopin' and tellin' myself
Somewhere there's one good one left
'Cause my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carryin' on
True to a promise, I can write in stone
And take it like a man who knows about love
And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man

And take it like a man, steady and strong
Not a lot of fuss and carryin' on
True to a promise, I can write in stone
And take it like a man who knows about love
And every little thing that a girl dreams of
Someone wise enough to understand
If you want this woman's heart, take it like a man (take it like a man)
And take it like a man (oh yeah)

Well, honey, if you want my heart, you gotta take it like a man
And take it like a man (take it like a man)
