Lyrics She's a Girl and I'm a Man (Pre-Op) - Lloyd Cole

She said she didn't understand him so she guessed he was deep
He swore he'd never been to college and was too tall to be
So as she led him to the slaughter thinking she'd be laughing last
Now the lady in the question is his better half

She's got to be the stupidest girl I've ever seen
She don't care who, why, or where I've been
She's got a right to be, with all that's wrong with me
But she doesn't want to understand
That she's a girl and I'm a man

He thought that women and drink would make a man out of him
But the extent of his studies left a jaded man
So as she led him to the altar he was easily led
And when they asked him if he did, well then, this is what he said

She's got to be the stupidest girl I've ever seen
She don't care who, why, or where I've been
She's got a right to be, with all that's wrong with me
But she doesn't want to understand
That she's a girl and I'm a man

Every time she's near me
She gives me a new reason to be alive
To try to get right
She looks right through me
She says you're not cool, you're just like me
You're a stupid man
Get over here, hold my stupid hand
She's all right...

Weird On Me

I didn't mean to get you mad at me, Misty
Swear I'd never try and turn your brown eyes blue
It's just that having got a taste for this whiskey
Maybe I've been missing someone like you

Maybe I've been tired
Maybe I've been lonely
I've been lonely and blue
Maybe I've been missing someone like you

But I was only trying to be your friend
Don't get weird on me, babe
Swear I'd never try to mix things up again
Don't get weird on me, babe

Billy says that you're wearing his ring, now
He says he took away the sadness from your smile
Guess I tried, hell, if I'd only known how
I guess I'll learn when you're walking down that aisle

Yes, and I'll be sad and I'll be lonely
I'll be lonely and blue
Yes and I'll be missing someone like you

But I was only trying to be your friend
Don't get weird on me, babe
Swear I'd never try to mix things up again
Don't get weird on me, babe
