|
I understand the nature of men. |
|
I don't pretend so I can sleep. |
|
A man can get lonely, |
|
He needs holding, |
|
Not scolding or complaint. |
|
Life can be hard on him |
|
He needs to know he can win. |
|
Baby girl, you be sweet. |
|
But understand me too. |
|
I have to play by different rules, |
|
And I'll crawl to see this through. |
|
A woman's gotta eat, |
|
She needs a place to sleep, |
|
And a brother to keep her in style, |
|
In a wild ... world. |
|
Nature has her way, |
|
Can't change it in a day. |
|
I'm not sure we ever could. |
|
And I know you feel used |
|
I've been there too. |
|
Ain't that just what we do? |
|
And I hope you understand, |
|
I'm wired to fend, |
|
When I feel that pen close in. |
|
I gotta breathe, I need to be free, |
|
And it's such a short life, |
|
In a wild world, in a wild world. |
|
In a wild world, in a wild world. |
|
I understand the nature of men. |
|
I don't pretend so I can sleep. |
