Mitski - Real Men lyrics

[Mitski - Real Men lyrics]

Real men don't need other people
And real men suck it in
Real men don't flinch or bleed in public
Oh, I think I'm a real man

Little boys cry and look around for comfort
And always get what they want
Little boys see toys and say
"I can take that!"
Oh, you are my little boy

Though honestly sir, all I wanna do
Is get naked in front of you
So you can look me up and down
And tell me
"Well done girl, you're looking good"

Real men keep cool in the face of a fire
Go down with the ship
And real men don't eat
'cause they're above that
Damn it
And oh, I'm gonna be a real man

Though honestly sir, all I wanna do
Is get naked in front of you
So you can look me up and down
And give me your love for being so good

But little boys hold me, color me
Praise me, make me feel lovely
For a little while

So little boy, say you want me
'Cause when I can't take it, go ahead
Do it, do it
