It's A Pose Lyrics - Get Away From Me - Nellie Mckay

Jimmy, you know my love is true 

and Davy, you know I love only you 

and Mitchie, you give meaning to every day 

and Nathan, hold on I got somethin' to say 

menfolk they need their women 

but women don't need their men 

ladies can walk away grinnin' 

but guys act surprised 

I thought I was your man 

why'd you leave me baby 

well sir here's a maybe 

maybe it's because we can 

"what the hell do you mean?"? 

well for instance 

you get a one you want twofold 

"and what else?"? 

you're a fiend, you're tight-fisted 

got no moral molars 

shrug your shoulders 

sell your soul to get your gold 

but hey hey hey 

that ain't nothin' to do with you 

you're a sensitive Joe I'm forgettin' 

but every woman knows 

it's a pose, just a pose

You're preenin' in your armchair 

and I'm steamin' at your knee 

go on pontificatin' like I care 

Peter Lorrie, then a story about AC/DC 

Harvard-educated, frustrated dictator 

tyrant with a PhD 

"what the hell do you mean?"? 

well for instance 

you have started every war 

"and what else?"? 

you're obscene, a coincidence 

get your pornos from Time Warner 

who is fornicatin' foreign shores 

but hey hey hey 

that ain't nothin' to do with you 

you're a sensitive Joe, I'm forgettin' 

but every woman knows 

it's a pose, just a pose

Sammy, oh let me put away the kettle 

oh no honey 

your arrogance is what makes you special 

and Manny, of course 

when you leave you are missed 

fellas can't you see I'm pissed 

tryin' to enjoy my readin' 

but you insist on interpretin' text 

oh go on fuck off I'm pleadin' 

every sentence is a pretext for sex sex sex sex 

god you went to Oxford 

head still in your boxers 

but you're male so what should I expect? 

"what the hell do you mean?"? 

well for instance 

you've committed every rape 

"and what else?"? 

I won't heed your insistence 

Mr. copulatin' populatin' masturbatin' denigratin' 

Birth of a Nation instigatin' violator of my escape 

but hey hey hey, that ain't nothin' to do with you 

you're a sensitive Joe, I'm forgettin' 

but every woman knows 

it's a pose, just a pose 

heaven knows 

the world's your ho 

but she's gettin' too old 

for your pose 

oh, there she goes
