YOU WENT FROM A BOY, TO A YOUTH, TO A MAN,
AND THE WAY YOU TREAT GIRLS, TEENS, AND WOMAN
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND,
AND I'M SURE THAT THE WAY THINGS ARE IS NOT THE WAY GOD PLANNED BUT! YOU'RE A MAN, YOU'RE STILL A MAN.

YOU WALKED OUT ON ME WHEN I CONCEIVED OUR CHILD
YOU DIDN'T GO A SHORT BLOCK
YOU MOVED MANY, MANY MILES
YOU BROKE MY HEART AND ROBBED ME OF MY GENTLE SMILE,
I'M SO MAD! I'D BETTER SHUT UP AWHILE CAUSE
YOU'RE STILL A MAN, UHM!! YOU'RE STILL A MAN.

AS A WOMAN I THOUGHT I LACKED
SO YES, WHEN YOU CALLED I TOOK YOU ASS BACK
AND THE THIN GOT THINNER, AND THE THIN GOT THINNER
AND YOU BECAME TRANSPARENT BOO
AND I STILL COULDN'T STOP LOVING YOU...

WHEN YOU HIT ME I COULD HAVE JUST DIED
INSTEAD I ADDED IT TO THE MANY MANY TEARS I CRY
I WALK AROUND THIS WORLD MUMMYFIED,
TELLING PEOPLE IT'S NOT HIS FAULT, IT'S MINE
I SWEAR I'LL LEAVE HIM NEXT TIME
AND THE TIME HAS COME AND I'M RESTING IN PEACE
GOD HAD A BEAUTIFUL PLACE JUST WAITING FOR ME,
BUT I'VE COME BACK CAUSE IT'S ONE THING I HAVE TO ASK
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE JUST A MAN?

PEACE
