Its A Pose Lyrics by Nellie McKay

Its A Pose Lyrics

    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
