Lyrics

I've given reasons and I've given years
I've given seasons and I've given tears
Said I was broken and said I was bad
I can't keep a man, so I must be mad
Poured out my brain in the dead of the night
Poured out these stories and songs that I write
It lies unspoken that I must be sad
I don't have a man, God, she must be mad
But I'm scared
On the day they start holding my hand
I ain't met one that can understand
Look, you be the woman 'cause I'll be the man, the man, the man
I'm scared
'Cause I tell them my work is my life
They say these days you can work and be wife
Okay, you be the wife then 'cause I'll be the man, the man, the man
I'll be the man, the man, the man, the man, the man
I am attracted to men just like me
Who claim that their aim is to stay wild and free
Wilder they get, the less wild I can be
They never see, they never see
I think my work will come second to theirs
Good women raise children, keep houses and care
Why can't I care about things like a man?
I don't understand
I'm scared
When I see that sweet look in their eye
See them thinking, "God, maybe then I"
I'll be their woman and they'll be the man, the man, the man
I'm scared
'Cause I tell them my work is my life
They say these days you can work and be wife
Okay, you be the wife then 'cause I'll be the man, the man, the man
I'll be the man, the man, the man, the man, the man
I've given reasons and I've given years
I've given seasons and I've given tears
So I'll give my time in the heat of the night
But I want my time to be mine in the light
Time is what women are told they should give
It's no way to live, it's no way to live
I think my work should come second to none
Good women paint paintings, make stories, write songs
Why can't I care about things like a man?
I just don't know a way to not make myself smaller around men
And it isn't even anything that they're actively asking me to do
It's me, it's how I've been taught to behave
To put their needs and their wants and their thoughts ahead of mine
And I'm bored of it
There has to be another way
I'll be the man, the man, the man
I'll be the man, the man, the man
I'll be the man, the man, the man, the man, the man
