'Cause I'm a Man

Like the brutal autumn sun

It dawns on me, what have I done?

Saying sorry ain't as good as saying why

But it buys me a little more time

Lost in the moment for the second time

Each fuck up that I make that makes you cry

I'm just pathetic, that's the reason why

In desperation, all that you can do

Is ask me why

'Cause I'm a man, woman

Don't always think before I do

'Cause I'm a man, woman

That's the only answer I've got for you

'Cause I'm a man, woman

Not often proud of what I choose

I'm a human, woman

A greater force I answer to

Once again, as it takes a hold

I am aware I'm not in control, you see

I have a conscience and it's never fooled

But it's prone to be overruled

You wanna know why I always think I'm right?

Why I can never accept defeat and let it slide?

Why I have no voice if I don't speak my mind?

My weakness is the source of all my pride?

I'll tell you why

'Cause I'm a man, woman

Don't always think before I do

'Cause I'm a man, woman

That's the only answer I've got for you

'Cause I'm a man, woman

I'll never be as strong as you

I'm a human, human

A greater force I answer to
