What Is It About Men (Live At North Sea Jazz Festival) lyrics

[Intro: Spoken]
And, um, this is a tune called "What Is It About Men"
I wrote this about my daddy...um, yeah
No, it's not in our situation, you know
Oh, it's cool now, at the time though you know?
Go on baby, go on baby
[laughs]

[Verse 1]
Understand, once he was a family man
So surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
Emulate all the sh*t my momma hate
I can't help but demonstrate my Freudian fate
My alibi for taking your guy
History repeats itself, it fails to die
And animal aggression is my downfall
I don't care about what you got, I want it all

[Chorus]
'Cause it's bricked up in my head, It's shoved under my bed
And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
Now my destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
What is it 'bout men?
Yeah
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
'Cause it's bricked up in my head, It's shoved under my bed
And then I question myself again "What-what is it 'bout men?"
Now my destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
What is- bricked up in my head, and it's shoved under my bed
And I question myself again yeah "What is it 'bout men?"
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again "What is it 'bout men?"
What is it 'bout men?

[Applause]
