[Verse 1]
When I wake
Oh, you start to take
Oh, you’re free
Take what you need
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t explain
Why you play this game
Oh, you’re free
Take what you need
[Chorus]
But you say I need a man
To protect me from other men
Can’t you see the irony?
When you say I need a man
To protect me from other men
I don’t see how the problem is me
[Verse 2]
When I’m wrong
All the times I’m strong
Go away
‘Cause I’m only as good
As my weakest day
And the words I say
Are only as good
As the mouth they escape
[Chorus]
But you say I need a man
To protect me from other men
Can’t you see the irony?
When you say I need a man
To protect me from other men
I don’t see how the problem is me
[Chorus]
But you say I need a man
To protect me from other men
Can’t you see the irony?
When you say I need a man
To protect me from other men
I don’t see how the problem is me
