Lyrics

Men Without Women

I worked all day and all night too
I just can't see enough of you
But the things men without women do
Well, you just don't understand

I went out last night and played the fool
You know it's different when it's me and you
'Cause the things men without women do
Well, you just don't understand

I've been on the outside so long
I don't know how to treat you
Keep the tears out of your eyes
It's hard for me to admit that I'm wrong
'Cause baby, I never learned to compromise
I never have learned to apologize, yeah

I do just what I want to do
And I never will grow up, it's true
I want everything and I want you too
And I wish I could explain to you
But the things men without women do
Well, you just don't understand
No baby, you just don't understand
No, you just don't understand
Baby no, you just don't understand
No baby, you just don't understand
No no no, you just don't understand
No no baby, you just don't understand
No no no no, tell me baby
No no no
