Tame Impala - Cause I’m a Man lyrics

Like the brutal morning 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 as pathetic, as 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 got for you (Uh)
‘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, 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?) You never accept defeat
And let it slide (Why?) I have no voice if
I don’t speak my mind
(Why?) 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
It's the only answer I got for you (Uh)
‘Cause I'm a man, woman
Not often proud of what I choose
I'm a human, woman
A greater force I answer to
I'll never be as strong as you
I'm a human, human
A greater force I answer to (Uh)
