What Is It About Men (Live At North Sea Jazz Festival)

[Intro: Spoken]

And, um, this is a tune called "What Is It About Men"

I wrote this about my daddy...um, yeah

No, it's not in our situation, you know

Oh, it's cool now, at the time though you know?

Go on baby, go on baby

[laughs]

[Verse 1]

Understand, once he was a family man

So surely I would never, ever go through it first hand

Emulate all the shit my momma hate

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]

'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?"

What is it 'bout men?

Yeah

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

'Cause it's bricked up in my head, It's shoved under my bed

And then I question myself again "What-what is it 'bout men?"

Now my destructive side has grown a mile wide

And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"

What is- bricked up in my head, and it's shoved under my bed

And I question myself again yeah "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?

[Applause]
