Fantasy Man Lyrics
I don't drink tea
Or white chablis
I sit around and watch tv
Don't send flowers
Or take showers
But I'll be there to pull your weeds
Oh yeah
I don't read books
I don't french cook
Or stroll around in galleries
I hate opera
I hate Oprah
Don't fill my head with poetry
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone
Hey, hey I ain't gonna change
Hey, hey don't you love it this way
Hey, hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not you fantasy man
I don't do dishes
And I'm suspicious
Of any grown-up man who does
I'm homophobic
Don't do aerobics
Just lay around and catch a buzz
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone
Hey, hey I ain't gonna change
Hey, hey don't you love it this way
Hey, hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not you fantasy man
Hey, hey I ain't gonna change
Hey, hey don't you love me this way
Hey, hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not your fantasy man
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone
Hey, hey I ain't gonna change
Hey, hey don't you love it this way
Hey, hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not you fantasy man
Or white chablis
I sit around and watch tv
Don't send flowers
Or take showers
But I'll be there to pull your weeds
Oh yeah
I don't read books
I don't french cook
Or stroll around in galleries
I hate opera
I hate Oprah
Don't fill my head with poetry
Why can't you leave it alone
Hey, hey I ain't gonna change
Hey, hey don't you love it this way
Hey, hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not you fantasy man
And I'm suspicious
Of any grown-up man who does
I'm homophobic
Don't do aerobics
Just lay around and catch a buzz
Why can't you leave it alone
Hey, hey I ain't gonna change
Hey, hey don't you love it this way
Hey, hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not you fantasy man
Hey, hey don't you love me this way
Hey, hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not your fantasy man
Why can't you leave it alone
Hey, hey I ain't gonna change
Hey, hey don't you love it this way
Hey, hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not you fantasy man

This song makes fun of toxic masculinity via a hypermasculine strawman. Ironically, his own masculinity is so fragile he lives a very limited life. He can't even do the dishes without feeling like less of a man. He unrealisticly expects a woman to love him as a fat slob. He wants her to change what she wants and refuses to change anything himself lest it shatter his fragile masculinity.
This song is about the guy I just broke up with... I mean no, but it's about a guy who is saying to a girl that he's not the guy she wants, he's who he is, and he won't change.
