Real Men Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Amelie 

Cover art for Real Men lyrics by Tori Amos

I think in this song, the writer is trying to describe the feelings of a man who realises that he is gay. In passages like "don't know how to treat a lady, don't know how to be a man", the person is in a state of confusion and cannot truly understand his feelings. He no longer knows what a man is.
