Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Machismo song lyrics

(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna)

Machismo doesn't wanna know macho, macho, macho

It's always such a show, when anyone is watchin'

Even when you're wrong, you just won't admit it

You think you're bein' strong, so you take it to the limit

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

It's time to play the fool again

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

You think you're cool but baby you're not

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

You gotta rule and call the shots

Machismo doesn't understand macho, macho, macho

What makes a man a man, it ain't about your ego

You have to make your point but where the hell's it got ya

You're just a bunch a noise, but that ain't nothin' new

Always so macho, always so macho

If you could only see yourself

Always so macho, always so macho

You ain't got the balls to be yourself

Always so macho, always so macho

You take it out on everyone else

Always so macho, always so macho oooohh

Machismo loves to fight macho, macho, macho

That you think might is right!

But I know that it just ain't so

Bravado is veneer, and yours is one I see through

You're really insecure and you're afraid I know you

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

You gotta rule an' call the shots

Always so macho, always so macho

If you could only see yourself

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

You thing you're cool but baby you're not

Always so macho, always so macho ooooohh

You've got to have your say

Always have to get your way

Don't want Machismo anymore
