Man Lyrics
Don't, don't, don't, don't leave me, don't leave me here
Skirt in the air with muted cares, all limbs and love absurd
I know I say "Just let me stay"
But stomp the ground, push me around and send me on my way
No, no, no don't leave me, don't take my word
I've lost my head, I need my bed
I promise you my bird
When I awake all sweet and sound
Without a care or woe
I'll thank you dear, I'll kiss you love
No matter friend or foe
CHORUS
I want to be the best I can
For me, for you, for every man
But I can slip, I lose my place
This shamefulness is hard to face
No, no no don't tell me of what I've done
I might ignore, just close the door before you have your fun
You tell it with such grace and wit
I know it can be humorous but I don't have the heart for it
Oh, oh oh don't look, I've lost my way
I'll button up, hold out my cup and beg for a cliché
I had no rights to a complaint
I guess it's just a little nuts or all a bit insane
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh, please let me keep my head
It wouldn't do you any good just hanging by a thread
I want to be the best I can
Nose to the ground, it's pound for pound or stick it to the man
REPEAT CHORUS x 2
Skirt in the air with muted cares, all limbs and love absurd
I know I say "Just let me stay"
But stomp the ground, push me around and send me on my way
I've lost my head, I need my bed
I promise you my bird
When I awake all sweet and sound
Without a care or woe
I'll thank you dear, I'll kiss you love
No matter friend or foe
I want to be the best I can
For me, for you, for every man
But I can slip, I lose my place
This shamefulness is hard to face
I might ignore, just close the door before you have your fun
You tell it with such grace and wit
I know it can be humorous but I don't have the heart for it
I'll button up, hold out my cup and beg for a cliché
I had no rights to a complaint
I guess it's just a little nuts or all a bit insane
It wouldn't do you any good just hanging by a thread
I want to be the best I can
Nose to the ground, it's pound for pound or stick it to the man

This song is about cheating. She is singing to her lover about her crisis of conscience. She is asking him to keep their secret safe, and to be supportive of her during this time while she figures out how to handle the situation.
lovin this
she wants sex
I thought it was about cheating as well... and strongly related to it :(
Basically you dont want them to leave you because you love them and you want them to stay, you want them to understand that you don't mean to do what you do, it just happens... But at the same time, you want the other person to stick up for themselves, put there foot down, and tell you that it is not acceptable... Because the more you can get away with it, the more you do it..
I think its more about a submissive female with her dom lover.
