"You Make Me Want To Be A Man" as written by and Hikaru Utada....
I really want to tell you something
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
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something, bu 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
I really want to tell you something
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
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something, bu 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
I really want to tell you something
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
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something, bu you can't
You make me want to be a man
I really want to tell you something
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
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something, bu 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

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.
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

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

Don't light that cigarette
[Chorus:]
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am

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.
"Now its different
99 percent
Is misinterpreted "
lol. Catchy tune, however.
