Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Like the brutal morning sun
It dawns on me, what have I done?
Saying sorry aint as good as saying why
But it buys me a little more time
Lost in the moment for the second time
Each fucking doubt I make, unleash a cry
Im just pathetic, thats the reason why
In desperation, all that you can do is ask me why
[Chorus]
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Dont always think before I do
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Thats the only answer Ive got for you
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Not often proud of what I choose
Im a human, woman
A greater force I answer to
[Verse 2]
Once again, as it takes a hold
I am aware Im not in control
You see, I have a conscience and its never fooled
But its prone to be overruled
You wanna know why I always think I’m right?
(Why?) You never accept defeat and let it slide
(Why?) I have no voice if I don’t speak my mind
(Why?) My weakness is the source of all my pride
Ill tell you why
[Chorus]
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Dont always think before I do
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Thats the only answer Ive got for you
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Ill never be as strong as you
Im a human, human
A greater force I answer to
I made this video to combine what I believe are the two best versions of this song: Blan Katos audio remix with the more fitting beat drop and Vida Que Segues video compilation of the classic cartoons. This edit was made to fit the new audio.
No attorneys
To plead my case
No opiates
To send me into outta space
And my fingers
Are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold
But that aint gonna help me now
Im trouble
Yeah trouble now
Im trouble yall
I disturb my town
Im trouble
Yeah trouble now
Im trouble yall
I got trouble in my town

LYRICS
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover shes waiting for me just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know youre trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
Im trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
Ill carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that Im not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So lets raise a glass
Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
Ill carry you home tonight
