[Intro]
N.C.
[Verse 1]
N.C.
I am 35 and I'm very much alive,
N.C.
I mean Jim Morrison was just a little kid when he died,
N.C.
There's the story of Icarus and his fall,
N.C.
And something follows me around that connects me to it all.
[Verse 2]
I get the feeling it's growing stronger lately,
I tried to hose it down,
With the whitest paint of all,
But this shadow of mine still drives me crazy,
Standing dark and threateningly erect against the wall.
[Chorus]
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh.
[Verse 3]
I'm still wondering what's worse, your mediocre sins,
Or that you're writing for everyone's approval again,
But then again me, whenever I get lonely,
I start writing for you and your approval only.
[Verse 4]
So what was I supposed to do with you babe,
I know you love your combination of poetry and jazz,
Well I'm eloquent, but not that eloquent,
I can state something profound about your tits and ass.
[Chorus]
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh.
[Verse 5]
I am dangerous, but I'm discreet about violence,
I'm the midnight hour striking the city clock in silence,
I am dangerous, but I'm discreet about violence,
Until they're turning up the heat and I'm burning up in fire.
[Verse 6]
In Papa New Guinea there lives a tribe,
Who turn the boys into men with a rite,
They believe they have to consume the semen of the adults,
So their maturity can take shape,
Well that's fucking weird,
I guess I should have blown a man before I met you babe.
[Verse 7]
I fought a holy war but believing I did not,
Until they showed me the wall where the infidels were shot,
I hung around for the chase till I lost track of the scent,
Then I joined the statisticians for 33 percent.
[Verse 8]
Then I hung around with the spiritual,
But they had a pissing test I just couldn't beat,
So I joined the prophets of bad weather,
Until one day my sunglasses betrayed me.
[Chorus]
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
G*
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh.
[Verse 9]
There's a woodpecker that keeps me up at night,
You just wait for that tree to come down on my pride,
I'm obsessing over my artist life,
I'm obsessed with the idea of being obsessed with an artist life you see, ooh,
And I'm working on an idea David Bowie had ages before me,
But I just keep grinding away at the factory.
[Verse 10]
Cause I'm 35 and I'm very much alive,
I mean Jim Morrison was just a little kid when he died,
But I'm gonna live a good life I'm gonna live a straight life,
The moment I figure out what the fuck that looks like.
[Verse 11]
One day they made it clear that the teaching had begun,
When I saw how to kill a boy who's outnumbered five to one,
Hair grew in places where it was not supposed to grow,
I wanted to be mature but not so mature that it would show.
[Interlude]
G*
Aah . . .
[Chorus]
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
G*
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh.
[Verse 12]
N.C.
I would talk bad about my mother for you,
N.C.
But please don't ask me to,
N.C.
I would fall on my sword for you,
N.C.
But please don't ask me to,
I would step into Indian traffic for you,
But please don't ask me to,
I would draw all the prophets for you,
But please don't ask me to,
I would pull a stranger's hair out the shower drain for you,
But please,
I would take a walk on the Kinsey scale for you,
F*
Well we both know that's not true,
It's just what I have to tell myself I did for you.
[Outro]
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh,
It takes a man to love you baby,
G*
Wooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh.
