Nature of the Beast

He's out on the town
Stayin' out all night long
Drinkin' with the boys
And then he brings 'em on home
Waitin' for a phone call that
Just never came, well
He promised you some changes
But he's still the same

Now you start to wonder if
He really does love you
Wanna bury him under
But you can't walk away

Why don't you understand
What's goin' on?
You should know better
It's the nature of the beast
So try to forgive him
Try to understand
He's a caveman
And it's just the nature of the beast
Oh, yeah

Well, you know he's a good man
And he gives you a lot
But he'll do what he wants to
Whether you like it or not
And you just wouldn't want him
If you could push him around
So cut him some slack
When he's acting like a clown

And you feel mistreated
When he's doin' his number
But you can't get too heated
No, you can't walk away

Why don't you understand
What's goin' on?
You should know better
It's the nature of the beast
So try to forgive him
Try to understand
He's a caveman
And it's just the nature of the beast
Oh, yeah

He's a wild man

Try to forgive him
Try to understand
He's a caveman
And it's just the nature of the beast

Most of the time
He's so angel-hearted
He's a man that's full of pride
But the other times
You don't know what's started
When he lets you down inside
And you keep on asking why

Come here, boys

Yeah, yeah

Why don't you understand
What's goin' on?
You should know better
It's the nature of the beast
So try to forgive him
Try to understand
He's a caveman
And it's just the nature of the beast

Why don't you understand?
Oh, it's just the nature of the beast
Try to forgive him
Try to understand
He's a caveman
And it's just the nature of the beast
