[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Like the 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 the second time
Each f**ing 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
‘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?) I 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
[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
‘Cause I'm a man, woman
Not often proud of what I choose
I'm a human, human
A greater force I answer to
