Hey girl you know you drive me crazy One look puts the rhythm in my hand Still I'll never understand why you hang around I see what's going down. Cover up with make up in the mirror Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again You cry alone and then he swears he loves you. Do you feel like a man When you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found. A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect Every action in this world will bear a consequence If you wait around forever you will surely drown I see what's going down. I see the way you go and say you're right again, Say you're right again, Heed my lecture. Do you feel like a man When you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found. Face down in the dirt She said "This doesn't hurt!" She said "I finally had enough!" Face down in the dirt She said "This doesn't hurt!" She said "I finally had enough!" One day she will tell you that she has had enough It's coming round again Do you feel like a man When you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found. Do you feel like a man When you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found. Face down in the dirt She said "This doesn't hurt!" She said "I finally had enough!"
