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   
 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 (myself again) 
 What is it 'bout men? What is it 'bout men? 
 (What is it? 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 
 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? (What is it 'em? What is it 'bout 'em?) 
 (What is about 'em? What is about 'em?)
