I'm a man
That's what you raised me to be
I'm not an identity crisis
This was planned
I'm a man
There's innocence in all mankind
It's what kind of animal I am
It's that simple, oh
I'm a man
And not just casually
I pull the sparks fulltime
The tree house cannot support me
I'm not the runt of the litter
The fat finger bullies were no match for me
So taste them in my teeth
I'm a man
I'm a man's man
Always been
Make no mistake
I've invested in
A woman's heart
It's the watermark
Of which I measure
Everything
I'm a man
That's what you raised me to be
I'm not your identity crisis
This was planned
I'm a man
You'll have to deal with me
My proxy is mine
You'll deal with me directly
And if I'm dipshit drunk on the pink perfume
I am the man in the fucking moon
'Cause you didn't know what a man was
Until I showed you
That's what you raised me to be
I'm not an identity crisis
This was planned
I'm a man
There's innocence in all mankind
It's what kind of animal I am
It's that simple, oh
I'm a man
And not just casually
I pull the sparks fulltime
The tree house cannot support me
I'm not the runt of the litter
The fat finger bullies were no match for me
So taste them in my teeth
I'm a man
I'm a man's man
Always been
Make no mistake
I've invested in
A woman's heart
It's the watermark
Of which I measure
Everything
I'm a man
That's what you raised me to be
I'm not your identity crisis
This was planned
I'm a man
You'll have to deal with me
My proxy is mine
You'll deal with me directly
And if I'm dipshit drunk on the pink perfume
I am the man in the fucking moon
'Cause you didn't know what a man was
Until I showed you
Neko Case
Neko Richelle Case (; born September 8, 1970) is an American singer-songwriter and member of the Canadian indie rock group the New Pornographers. Case has a powerful, untrained contralto voice, which has been described by contemporaries and critics as a "flamethrower", "a powerhouse [which] seems like it might level buildings," "a 120-mph fastball," and a "vocal tornado". Critics also note her idiosyncratic, "cryptic," "imagistic" lyrics, and credit her as a significant figure in the early 21st-century American revival of the tenor guitar. Case's body of work has spanned and drawn on a range of traditions including country, folk, art rock, indie rock, and pop and is frequently described as defying or avoiding easy generic classification.
