What Is It About Men - Amy Winehouse

Album: Frank

genre: Soul

Understand once he was a family man
So surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
Emulate all the shit my mother hated
I can’t help but demostrate my Freudian fate
My alibi for taking your guy
History repeats itself, it fails to die
And animal agression is my downfall
I don’t care ’bout what you got I want it all

It’s bricked up in my head, it’s shoved under my bed
And I question myself again: what is it ’bout men?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again: what is it ’bout men?

I’m nurturing, I just wanna do my thing
And I’ll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
And I’ll save my tears for uncovering my fears
For behavioural patterns that stick over the years

It’s bricked up in my head, it’s shoved under my bed
And I question myself again: what is it ’bout men?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
And I question myself again: what is it ’bout men?

Amy Winehouse said to MOJO magazine: "I don't know what my mom feels about it, but I felt it was important to write that song. I was 9 or 10 when my dad left. My mom was upset every night, falling apart. I thought she was weak until I realized that my dad was the weak one, 'cos he couldn't make something work. My mom was the strong one."
