Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You still don't know what it's wrong with me you say,
I'm not what I used to be
do you remember who I am
and all the doors you made me slam?
[Verse 2]
But now I'm walking on a brand new day (new day)
with all the music carrying on my way (on my way)
so does it frighten me? (does it frighten me?)
oh yes it lightens me
[Bridge 1]
You were a man, my man
the one I'd never leave,
a man, my man, a man to light my fire
hear me out, forgive me if I call you liar
[Chorus 1]
So here we were like milk and honey
those were the days not to forget
you're running out of all but money
and I'm the one you should regret
We nearly had the run of a world made of music and love
and in the end we were wind at night
that's why I do my thing,
I'm doing it right now
[Verse 3]
Were you expecting these words from me?
you don't remember what I used to be
I never realized you were
a deadly way that led nowhere
[Verse 4]
But now I'm living my brand new way (new way)
so full of music carrying on my day (all day)
so does it frighten me? (does it frighten me?)
it doesn't frighten me
[Bridge 2]
You were the man, my man
the one I chose to leave,
a man, my man, a man to set on fire
hear me out, forgive me if I call you liar
[Chorus 2]
So here we were like milk and honey
those were the days not to forget
you're running out of all but money,
I'm the one you should regret
We nearly had the run of a world made of music and love
and in the end we were wind at night
that's why I do my thing
Hear me doing it right now
[Middle eight]
We had the run of the world
and you keep getting my voice unheard
You see, you aren't man enough
so baby look at me,
a woman doing her thing
Yes, I'm doing my thing
[Ending]
(Me, right now) Doing my thing
(right now) Look at me baby
