Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 f*ck up that I make, it 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've 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 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? (Ooh, why?) You never accept defeat and let it slide (why? 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 That's the only answer I've got for you (uh) '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 (uh)
