Greetings From Kiev, xxoo

I understand the nature of men
I don't pretend so I can sleep
A man can get lonely
He needs holding
Not scolding or complaint

Life can be hard on him
He needs to know he can win
Baby girl, you be sweet

But understand me too
I have to play by different rules
And I'll crawl to see this through

A woman's gotta eat
She needs a place to sleep
And a brother to keep her in style
In a wild ... world

Nature has her way
Can't change it in a day
I'm not sure we ever could

And I know you feel used
I've been there too
Ain't that just what we do?

And I hope you understand
I'm wired to fend
When I feel that pen close in

I gotta breathe, I need to be free
And it's such a short life
In a wild world, in a wild world
In a wild world, in a wild world

I understand the nature of men
I don't pretend so I can sleep
