Lloyd Cole › Lyrics › She's a Girl and I'm a Man

She said she didn't understand and so she guessed he was deep
He swore he'd never been to college and was too tall to be
So as she led him to the slaughter thinking she'd be laughing last
Now the lady in the question is his better half

She's gotta be the stupidest girl, I've ever seen
She don't care who, why, where I've been
She's got a right to be with all that's wrong with me
But she doesn't wanna understand that she's a girl and I'm a man

He thought that women and drink would make a man out of him
But the extent of his studies left a jaded man
So as she led him to the altar he was easily led
And when they asked him if he did, well, then this is what he said

"She's gotta be the stupidest girl, I've ever seen
She don't care who, why, where I've been
She's got a right to be with all that's wrong with me
But she doesn't wanna understand that she's a girl and I'm a man"

Well, she's a girl and I'm a man, she's a girl and I'm a man
She's a girl and I'm a man, she's a girl and I'm a man
She's a girl and I'm a man, she's a girl

She's gotta be the stupidest girl, I've ever seen
She don't care who, why, where I've been
She's got a right to be with all that's wrong with me
But she doesn't wanna understand that she's a girl and I'm her man

Every time she's near me, she gives me any reason to be alive
Try to get right, yeah she looks right through me
She says you're not cool, you're just like me, you're a stupid man
Get over here, hold my stupid hand
She's all right, yeah

You wouldn't understand, sister is a man fan-aca

She's gotta be the stupidest girl, I've ever seen
She don't care who, why, where I've been
She's got a right to be with all that's wrong with me
But she doesn't wanna understand that she's a girl and I'm a man
