In this song Damien Rice tries to underlie the fact that at some point women follow the false stereotypes that are established in our society concerning men-getting drunk,wanting sex,not treating themselves right etc.
Easily one can misunderstand the meaning and think there is sexism concerning wome...
[Verse 1]
I need a piss, wanna hate
Fuck it up, cum
My love eat your meat
Keep your teeth, run
[Verse 2]
You lost me, you cost me
You taught me of me in the end
We're bad, what we do
Stupid fools
[Chorus]
You wanna get boned
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no-one else
You wanna be rich
You wanna be kitsch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself
You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get fucked inside out
You wanna be ruled
You wanna be fooled
You wanna be a woman like a man
Like a woman like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
A woman like a man, like a man, like a woman like a man, you like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Woman like a man, woman like a man, like a woman like a man, woman like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
A woman like a man, like a man, like a woman like a man, woman like a man
(Cause it really wasn’t worth the ride)
Woman like a man, like a man, like a woman like a man, like a man
[Verse 3]
Need a hit? Wanna wait?
Suck it up, cum
My love eat your meat
Itchy feet, run
[Verse 4]
You reach me, you bleach me
You teach me of me how familiar
We're bad, what we do
Stupid fools
[Chorus]
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
A woman like a man, like a man, like a woman like a man, woman like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Woman like a man, like a man, like a woman like a man, you like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
A woman like a man, like a woman like a man, like a woman like a man, you like a man
(Cause it really wasn’t worth the ride)
Woman like a man, woman like a man, like a woman like a man, like a man
[Bridge]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Chorus]
You like a man
Like a man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man
You're like a man, man, man, man, man, man
Like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Like a man, like a man, you like a man, like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Woman like a man, like a man, like a woman like a man, you like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Woman like a man, you like a man, you like a man, woman like a man
(Cause it really wasn’t worth the ride, really wasn’t worth the ride)
Woman like a man, like a man, you like a man
Whoa oh oh
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Like a man, like a man, you like a man, you like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Like a man, like a man, like a woman like a man, you like a man
(I’ll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Like a man, you like a man, like a man, you like a man
(Cause it wasn't worth the ride)
A woman like a man, a woman like a man, like a woman like a man, like a man
Ooh
