LYRICS:

You know I ain't straight,
But ima say it straight to you
And look you in the face
Every time I talk to you.
I wanna be clear and not convolute
I'll say what I mean
I expect the same from you.

So you wanna play rough in the parking lot?
See you actin' tough, but I know you're not.
We can take it outside scuffle in the streetlight.
I just really wanna fight with you.

Man to man
Hand to hand
One on one
Friend to friend.
Are you man enough to soften up?
Are you to tough enough to open up?
Man to man.
You gotta let me in.

You gotta be the bigger man.
You gotta take the higher ground.
You gotta put your fists away.
You gotta lay your weapons down.

So you wanna play rough in the parking lot?
See you actin' tough, but I know you're not.
We can take it outside scuffle in the streetlight.
I just really wanna fight with you.

Man to man
Hand to hand
One on one
Friend to friend.
Are you man enough to soften up?
Are you to tough enough to open up?
Man to man.
You gotta let me in.
(Man to man to man to man, baby. You gotta let me in).

Don't beat around the bush.
Don't talk behind my back.
Quit acting cowardly.
Don't launch a sneak attack.
Just step out here in the daylight,
and we can handle this just right.
Just take my hand
and we can settle this man to man.

(Man to Maaaaaaaaan)

About Dorian:
Rising pop star Dorian Electra makes music that defies gender norms. In the past year, their work has gained a queer cult following and led to them being named a must-know talent by Buzzfeed and one of PAPER Magazine's "100 Women Revolutionizing Pop." Not only that, but Electra has also quickly built a dedicated following thanks to their futuristic spin on 00s pop, 80s funk, and a long-standing love of satirizing rigid gender roles and views on sexuality. A frequent Charli XCX collaborator, Electra was featured on the Pop 2 track "Femmebot (feat. Dorian Electra and Mykki Blanco)" alongside Mykki Blanco. They have also played live with XCX at a number of self-curated shows and after parties. Most recently, Electra performed at NYC Pride 2018, toured with British pop sensation Rina Sawayama. Electra's last three singles and music videos, "Career Boy" "VIP" and "Man To Man" have garnered press and playlist spots from Billboard, The Fader, and Buzzfeed among others.
2019 will see the release of Dorian Electra's debut album and headlining tour.

“You know I ain’t straight, but ima say it straight to you.”

I felt that.

[DORIANELECTRA]

Thank y'all so much for 1, 000, 000 :D

[coleheinous]

the inherent homoeroticism of literally every sport

[gg.gama]

Love the continuity with breaking glass on your head on every video

[samjowett]

Toxic Masculinity: *Exists*
Dorian: I'm about to end this man's whole career

[estian]

But really, do y'all love how Dorian actually reads through all these comments and likes them?!

[Fox-Terra]

The aesthetic is really pleasing, and the fact that the voice of the singer can sound sometimes really high pitched, and let's say feminine, and sometimes really low and ''manly'' is interesting and pleasing too.

Well hot boys too.
Damn.

[alexanderjakubowski]

"Are you man enough to soften up? Are you tough enough to open up?"
Ngl shit's deep

[jjmvm]

Dorian,
Thank you for this song!
As a straight cis man I am happy that you created such a wonderful piece of art. Please do the world a favor and continue doing this. I have depression and I have an identity crisis. I love putting glitter on my face, I love using women’s perfume, I love dressing feminine and I love to be myself. I was ashamed to be who I am but this song helps me be me

[zvavie--msmsmsms]

Breaking glass on his head in every video is literally iconic

[eastia]

The way their voice switches from masculine to feminine so easily is *gorgeous.* I'm addicted

[princepoirier]

As a lonely non-binary person, I think I've been waiting my whole life for this. Seeing someone in the spotlight who is like me. Thank you, so much.

[Titaniumbunny]

"are you man enough to soften up, are you tough enough to open up"! Yes Dorian Electra lyrics are the discourse we need 🕺 🎶.

[leopossum]

"You know I ain't straight, but I'mma say it straight to you..." is a hell of an iconic opening line

[deejkdeejk]

I'm a str8 male who works in construction and I'm bumping this pre-shift. The agenda wins

[eleanorhughes]

that first look with the red leather jacket and black pants god just murder me already it’s everything

[Mark-vvdy]

I've always identified as a straight man, and I love that my wife and I can have a conversation about how attractive Dorian Electra is. Got us talking about topics of gender identity and sexual orientation in a way we hadn't overtly discussed before, and we were people who considered ourselves woke. If Dorian and their fans can get us talking about this stuff, they're doing a lot of things right (beyond making awesome songs and videos).

[Ymirec]

"Are you tough enough to open up?" - I love that line

[cyberpunkist]

im a trans man and honestly dorian's music has inspired me to be way more comfortable with my gender and creating the content i want to with the aesthetic i love

[krekln]

So, I just recently started performing in drag, and I've gained a reputation for being the "Androgynous" drag king. So one of the queens turned me onto your music and I'm officially obsessed and I will absolutely be performing to this song the next chance I get
