Lyrics

Goddamn, man-child
You fucked me so good that I almost said "I love you"
You're fun and you're wild
But you don't know the half of the shit that you put me through

Your poetry's bad and you blame the news
But I can't change that and I can't change your mood
Ah-ah

'Cause you're just a man
It's just what you do
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue

Yeah, you're just a man
All through and through
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue

Blue, blue, blue

Goddamn, man-child
You act like a kid even though you stand six foot two
Self-loathing poet, unprecedented moral, can you know it all?
You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you

But I don't get bored, I just see it through
Why wait for the best when I could have you?
You, ooh

'Cause you're just a man
It's just what you do
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue

Yeah, you're just a man
All through and through
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue

Blue, blue

You make me blue
Blue, blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue
