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 fucking doubt I make, unleash a cry
I'm just pathetic, that's 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
'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?
(Why?)
Can 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
That's the only answer I've got for you
'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

  1. W.... L....

    This is to all of you white knight, ass kissing men who over-cater to your lady. She is not a little spoiled princess

    Like a brutal autumn 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 a second time
    Each fucking doubt I make, unleash a cry
    I'm just pathetic, that's 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
    It's the only answer I've got for you
    '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 being overruled
    You wanna know what I always think I'm bind by
    You never accept defeat or let it slide
    But I have no voice if I don't speak my mind
    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
    '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

  3. H.... M....

    Lyrical analysis...COMPLETE

    Men stupid and weak.

    I guess we should all start painting our toenails while binge-watching The Handmaid's Tale and chugging box wine.

  4. K.... ....

    This music video is trippy

  5. M.... B....

    sounds better if ya speed it up

  6. M.... G....

    Nobody cares if you do drugs

    M.... G....

    Well it's not in the song, it wasn't up for debate or anything, you just brought it up. Clearly you care a little.

  7. I.... N....

    Good god. This is so smooth.

  8. S.... S....

    Like a brutal autumn sun
    It dawns on me, what have I done?
    Saying sorry ain't as good as saying why

    I'm just pathetic, that's the reason why
    In desperation, all that you can do is ask me why

    [Verse 1]
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 fucking doubt I make, unleash a cry
I'm just pathetic, that's the reason why
In desperation, all that you can do is ask me why

[Chorus]
‘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

[Verse 2]
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?
(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

    [Chorus]
‘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)
