[Verse 1]
I'm trying to be civilized and need you, girl, to realize
My higher mind runs counter to my procreative self
And although it's not my doing, nature has its way, insuring
That the species will be fruitful, no matter how I try to fight it

[Pre-Chorus]
God's the one who made me like this
Understand I'm innocent
The drive is stronger than I am
I'm just a man, I'm just a man
I'm just a man, I'm just a man

[Chorus]
She means nothing to me, I swear
I'm just pulled in two directions by the male condition, there's
No excuses, only reasons for what has brought us here
I need to make it clear, so you can understand
It's part of nature's plan, I'm just a man, I'm just a man
I'm just a man, I'm just a man

[Verse 2]
Girl, it's hard to do the right thing with the hormones screaming, pleading
With the need to seed and no relief because there's always more
One hundred million daily manufactured and ready
For the journey to conception, not unlike a loaded gun
[Pre-Chorus]
God's the one who made me like this
Understand I'm innocent
The drive is stronger than I am
I'm just a man, I'm just a man
I'm just a man, I'm just a man

[Chorus]
She means nothing to me, I swear
I'm just pulled in two directions by the male condition, there's
No excuses, only reasons for what has brought us here
I need to make it clear, so you can understand
It's part of nature's plan, I'm just a man, I'm just a man
I'm just a man, I'm just a man
