How Men Are

It's called love and every cruelty will cloud it

And his lie true love could never allow it

'Cause it's a lie that we have ceased to believe

We've said goodbye but it won't take its leave

Why should it take the tears of a woman

To see how men are?

Perspective, it's no mystery

What you don't know always gets you

It will hurt you and desert you, so you'd better see

That it's a damage ever done by degrees

And some will take eternity to believe

Why should it take the tears of a woman

To see how men are?

'Cause love is a giving with no need of return

It lends itself to everything and maybe one day man will see

That love is a lesson money never taught us to learn

Love is the power to have

Without the premise that there's nothing for free

And sometimes when we're just getting by and getting along

It's like we're scared to see that something is wrong

Why should it take the tears of a woman

To see how men are?
