Neko Case feat. M. Ward Lyrics
"Man"

I'm a man
That's what you raised me to be
I'm not an identity crisis
This was planned

I'm a man
There's innocence in all mankind
It's what kind of animal I am
It's that simple, oh

I'm a man
And not just casually
I pull the sparks full-time
Your treehouse will not support me

I'm not the runt of the litter
The fat-fingered bullies were no match for me
So taste them in my teeth
I'm a man

I'm a man's man; I've always been
Make no mistake that I've invested in
A woman's heart as the watermark
Of which I measure everything

I'm a man
That's what you raised me to be
I'm not your identity crisis
This was planned

I'm a man
You'll have to deal with me
My proxy is mine
You'll deal with me directly

And if I'm dipshit drunk on the pink perfume
Then I'm the man in the fucking moon
'Cause you didn't know what a man was
Until I showed you
