You Make Me Want To Be A Man Lyrics
This is just the way I am
I really want to tell you something
But I can’t
You make me want to be a man
All your words that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something
But you can’t
You make me want to be a man
Called me when you came
We didn’t need to say
Much to communicate
Now its different
99 percent
Is misinterpreted
This is just the way I am
I really want to tell you something
But I can’t
You make me want to be a man
All your words that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something
But you can’t
You make me want to be a man
Finds a home in me
Nothing anyone could ever say
Could hurt me like this
Baby please
Don’t light that cigarette
Don’t light that cigarette
This is just the way I am
I really want to tell you something
But I can’t
You make me want to be a man
All your words that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something
But you can’t
You make me want to be a man
This is just the way I am
I really want to tell you something
But I can’t
You make me want to be a man
All your words that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something
But you can’t
You make me want to be a man

Utada-san said this one herself. This song is about how she used to get into fights with her husband all the time. She felt that they were so distant and couldn't understand each other. And she got to thinking. Perhaps, if she was a man, she would be able to understand him better.

I'm lost...

i agree with orangewaxlion
i think she is trying to communicate with this person but because of the rift her words are being misinterpreted by him and vice versa. so she wishes that she were a man so they can talk things out properly. because of this rift gender-wise they can't talk directly and get things out. the mysterious distance between a man and a woman.

These lyricas are wrong as hell!! How do you correct them? Oh and in this song shes talking about how this person she was with became so difficult to understand/be with , that she had to act like a man just to be with him..And she couldnt be a man... This song is great..and if that heifer would have sent in the right lyrics itd eb even greater!! here are the CORRECT lyrics: "You Make Me Want To Be A Man"
[Chorus:] I really wanna tell you something This is just the way I am I really wanna tell you something, but I can't You make me want to be a man Arguments that have no meaning This is just the way I am You really wanna tell me something, but you can't You make me want to be a man
The thunder and the rain called you and you came We didn't need to say much to communicate Now it's different; 99% is misinterpreted
[Chorus:] I really wanna tell you something This is just the way I am I really wanna tell you something, but I can't You make me want to be a man Arguments that have no meaning This is just the way I am You really wanna tell me something, but you can't You make me want to be a man
Every word you say finds a home in me Nothing that anyone could ever say Could hurt me like this Baby please, don't light that cigarette Don't light that cigarette
[Chorus:] I really wanna tell you something This is just the way I am I really wanna tell you something, but I can't You make me want to be a man Arguments that have no meaning This is just the way I am You really wanna tell me something, but you can't You make me want to be a man
[Chorus:] I really wanna tell you something This is just the way I am I really wanna tell you something, but I can't You make me want to be a man Arguments that have no meaning This is just the way I am You really wanna tell me something, but you can't You make me want to be a man

Actually, I saw her in an interview, and she wrote it after having an argument with her husband, and she wished that she was a guy so that they would be on the same page, so that she could see it from his point of view.

The ciggarette part has been bothering people but I think I have an idea.
Sometimes when people smoke they use it as a comfort or escape when someone bad happens. If Hikaru were to have gotten into a fights with her husband a lot and he started to smoke more often she could be upset. The fact that she's the reason he's smoking more and we all know somking isn't good for you.
I think the smoking could mean he gave up on finding a solution and listening to her and just lit a cig.
I'd be upset if someone did that to me.

lol, I think we're all lost on this song. Even Utada is... "Now its different 99 percent Is misinterpreted "
lol. Catchy tune, however.

i love utada. but this is one of her worst songs ever. at least i think so.

FUCK THIS SONG IS LIKE AN PURPLE CANTALOPE
