美國實力歌姬[葛蕾蒂絲奈特]──New Jack Swing/靈魂曲──[Men/男人]
I was talking to my girlfriend just the other day
I was not a bit surprised at what she had to say
On the subject of love we both were disillusioned
All day long we tried to find some kind of a solution
She said, "Im tired of all that cheatin and lyin
Men wont change so Im just gonna give up tryin"
I said, "I feel the same way, too, but I
Cant give up so I dont know what to do"
I tell you, men
Cant live with em but you cant live without em
What can you do about em?
I tell you, men
Cant live with em but you cant live without em
I say we got a problem (oh, whoa)
Said, I know
I said we oughta tell them about their evil ways
I know theyll get defensive then turn around and say
"Were not alone out here cause women do it, too"
I said, "two wrongs dont make it right, they pay the price like you do"
She said, "uh-huh, Im tired of all this cheatin and lyin
Men wont change so Im just gonna give up tryin"
I said, "I feel the same way, too, but I
Cant give up so I dont know what to do"
I tell you, men
Cant live with em but you cant live without em
What can you do about em?
I tell you, men
Cant live with em but you cant live without em
I know we got a problem
I tell you, men
Cant live with em but you cant live without em
What can you do about em?
I tell you, men
Cant live with em but you cant live without em
I know we got a problem
I hope that theres a man somewhere who knows that loves a treasure
But the only ones Ive met so far has used this love for pleasure
They dont make commitments, they say "come deal with me"
But I dont want to buy his love with my prerogative
I really want to love you
But I cant accept the way you do the things you do, men
Cant live, cant live, cant live without em
Oh men, cant live, oh live
Oh, I know we got a problem Ill tell you, men
Cant live with em but you cant live without em
What can you do about em
Ill tell you, men
Cant live with em but you cant live without em
What can we do about em?
(Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
(Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
(Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa) I just dont know what to do about em
Men, cant live with em
But you cant live without em
No, what can we do about em?
I tell you, men
