Winehouse, Amy - What It Is About Men Lyrics






Understand once he was a family man
So surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
Emulate all the shit my mother hated
I can't help but demonstrate my Freudian fate

My alibi for taking your guy
History repeats itself, it fails to die
And animal aggression is my downfall
I don't care 'bout what you got I want it all

It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
And I question myself again, "What is it 'bout men?"
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again, "What is it 'bout men?"
What is it 'bout men?

I'm nurturing, I just wanna do my thing
And I'll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
And I'll save my tears for uncovering my fears
Our behavioural patterns that stick over the years

'Cause it's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
And I question myself again, "What is it 'bout men?"
Now my destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again, "What is it 'bout men?"

Ooh it's bricked up in my head, and it's shoved under my bed
And I question myself again, "Now what is it 'bout men?"
My destructive side, has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again, "What is it 'bout men?"
What is it 'bout men?

  1. T.... C....

    Depois de anos da sua morte através de um documentário me apaixonei pelas musicas de amy e sua linda pessoa ! Acho dificiul se encontrar outra cantora como amy, original única nao se vendeu pra fazer oque a industria queria.. Por isso tiraram sua vida que vc esteja em um lugar lindo de paz

    If you are looking for a sign not to end your life, this is it.

    I love you. Stay strong ❤️

  3. J.... M....

    Intelligent. Thank you Amy.

  4. R.... P....

    I love the fret buzz on the guitar on this thing. So raw and melancholic. Listen to that 20 second outro. I must mention Amy's sublime vocals as well.

  5. S.... M....

    How was she so good at putting life into words and melodies? Insane gifts and skills

  6. D.... C....

    Bricked up in my head..shoved under my bed..this is on of the greatest jazz funk mashups of all time..gone too soon..RIP a beautiful lost soul

  7. S.... A....

    Saudades da minha cantora preferida ♡

    RIP to an original style artist 💔

  9. d.... c....

    RIP my princess 8 years ago today god saw that you needed to come home to rest your weary heart in peace
    You left the most profound influence on the world of soul music and your memory will live on forever in music history.
    I know that your pain is soothes and you’re in a better place , but just know your pain wasn’t in vain , as it had made it mark deep deep in my soul and that your pain and torture comforted many in pain !!
    Queen and a voice of a generation and in this you reign queen

  12. y.... y....

    💓💓💓🇫🇷

  13. A.... A....

    vellos de punta, única! <3

  14. �.... n....

    It's about her being confused in between the need of sex or of her daddy's love ? And just 9yr old Amy losing her daddy to another woman, and her repeating the history of her family without meaning to completely because it's just how it is with men.. :(

  15. r.... e....

    When it comes real "I can't help but demonstrate my freudian fate"

  16. C.... ....

    I can't help but demonstrate my Freudian fate

  17. L.... L....

    Miss u so much, Amy. I'll be forever gratefull for your work. Love u forever ❤❤❤

  18. T.... D....

    Still Listening 2019...🔊💛🎧🔥

  19. W.... S....

    I'm sure 90% of men wonder same thing about women!

  20. W.... N....

    The man she is talking about is her father
    Not her boyfriends

  21. C.... C....

    2019?
    Still loving Amy❤️

  22. G.... D....

    I look forward to die and write rhymes with Amy Winehouse for eternity...
    Amen

  23. D.... r....

    Ah kusursuzluk 🔥

  24. L.... J....

    Understand, once he was a family man
    So surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
    Emulate all the shit my mother hates
    I can't help but demonstrate my Freudian fate
    My alibi for taking your guy
    History repeats itself, it fails to die
    And animal aggression is my downfall
    I don't care about what you got, I want it all

    [Chorus]
    It's bricked up in my head, It's shoved under my bed
    And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
    My destructive side has grown a mile wide
    And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
    What is it 'bout men?

    [Verse 2]
    I'm nurturing, I just wanna do my thing
    And I'll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
    And I'll save my tears for uncovering my fears
    Our behavioral patterns that stick over the years

    [Chorus]
    It's bricked up in my head, It's shoved under my bed
    And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
    My destructive side has grown a mile wide
    And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
    What is it 'bout men?

    [Chorus]
    It's bricked up in my head, It's shoved under my bed
    And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
    My destructive side has grown a mile wide
    And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
    What is it 'bout men?

    So surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
    Emulate all the shit my mother hated
    I can't help but demonstrate my Freudian fate

    My alibi for taking your guy
    History repeats itself, it fails to die
    And animal aggression is my downfall
    I don't care 'bout what you got, I want it all

    It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
    And I question myself again, "What is it about men?"
    My destructive side has grown a mile wide
    And I question myself again, "What is it about men? What is it about men?"

    I'm nurturing, I just wanna do my thing
    And I'll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
    And I'll save my tears for uncovering my fears
    Our behavioral patters that stick over the years

    'Cause it's…

  57. t.... ....

    She wrote this while still a teenager , the insight and maturity of the lyrics ...while others of her age and older blab ´ i love you baby baby baby baby´.. Listen to the North Sea Jazz Festival live version, it´s way better this album track.

    t.... ....

    tecdessus yes, I go with you, but it appear on the credits that she co-wrote this with a few others. Truth. Really awesome, touching and strong song.

    t.... ....

    She was tellin us about. Her cheating Dad
    Her hurt and the rest
    ..love Her so much

    t.... ....

    Andrea M True, but I am pretty certain that the lyrics are all hers.

  60. L.... R....

    It's bricked up in my head, shoved under my bed,
    And I question myself again.
    What is it 'bout men?

    I'm nurturing. I just wanna do my thing
    And I'll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
    Our behavioural past is thick over the years
    'Cause it's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
    And I question myself again, what is it 'bout men?

  61. S.... Q....

    Amy Winehouse is one of a kind! there's no one that could top and do what she is done she's needed no filter she was always performing live.
    true Talent from the soul that's why she did not want to be part of the music industry..
    I saw her documentary I
    it touched me deeply!! I haven't gotten her out of my mind since I saw her documentary it just kills me to know that she died too damn young!!
    I wish I would have known her like a frnd I would have not let the effing demonic music industry tear her apart!
    :'( :'( :'(
    R.I.P Amy Whitehouse
    you are a true legend an angel in heaven ♥️ ♥️

  62. S.... Q....

    ♥️ ♥️

  63. J.... M....

    Her talent is in her ability to express herself. Not everyone can do that.

    Amy was her own talent and I don't ever want to compare her to any other performer out of respect to her artistry. She was unique in her own powerful way but.... I just can't help but think that this particular song gives me strong Lauryn Hill vibes.
