Lyrics
I'm a woman
I identify as a woman
You're a man
You identify as a man
Was I put here for you
Questioning the purpose of my existence in relation to you
I'm much closer
I am emotionally closer
You're much further
You are emotionally distant
Away, away
Expressing distance or separation
And I never quite seem to understand
I struggle to comprehend
Why a woman never needs a man
Questioning why a woman may not depend on a man
Cause a man never understand
Emphasizing the lack of understanding from a man's perspective
You never want to tell me why
Request for explanation
I always have to let it by
Accepting without clarification
I always have to take a ride
Emphasizing the need to go through experiences
Always have to drive apart
Emphasizing the need to overcome challenges
So men you try to understand
Encouraging men to make an effort to understand
Understand
Reiteration of the need to understand
You're a man
Reiteration of your identity as a man
Just a man
Highlighting the limitations of being just a man
I'm a woman
Reiteration of your identity as a woman
Understand
Reiterating the call for understanding
God only knows
Expressing uncertainty with a reference to a higher power
God don't assure
Indicating the unpredictability of life
What became
Uncertainty about what happened
You knows the men
Reference to the behavior of men
And I never quiet seen and understand
Continuing the struggle to comprehend
Why a woman never needs a man
Repeating the question about the independence of women
Cause a man never understand
Emphasizing the lack of understanding from a man's perspective
You never want to tell me why
Reiteration of the request for explanation
I always have to let it by
Continuing to accept without clarification
I always have to take a ride
Reiterating the need to go through experiences
Always have to drive apart
Reiterating the need to overcome challenges
So men you try to understand
Encouraging men to make an effort to understand
Understand
Final reiteration of the call for understanding
