Lyrics

[Snippet]:
God damn, 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 is bad and you blame the news
But I can't change that and I can't change your mood

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
