Kill V. Maim
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got in a fight, I was indisposed
I was in despite all the wicked prose
But I'm only a man
And I do what I can
I got friends in high places
I get out for free
I got in a fight but they don't know me
'Cause I'm only a man
And I do what I can
B-E-H-A-V-E
Arrest us
Italiana mobster looking so precious
B-E-H-A-V-E
Never more
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war
Eh
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show?)
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, ooh-woah-oh
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show?)
I did something bad, maybe I was wrong
Sometimes people say that I'm a big time bomb
But I'm only a man
And I do what I can
B-E-H-A-V-E
Arrest us
Italiana mobster looking so precious
B-E-H-A-V-E
Never more
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war
Eh
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show?)
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, ooh-woah-oh
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show?)
Oh, woah-oh-woo
The fire hurts alright
'Cause we can make 'em all a bit crazy
We can make 'em alright
Oh, woah-oh-woo
The fire hurts alright
The people touch it
I can't touch it, even though it's mine
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, I don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show?)
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, ooh-woah-oh
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
B-E-H-A-V-E
Arrest us
Italiana mobster looking so precious
B-E-H-A-V-E
Never more
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war
