Gladys Knight: “Men” Lyrics
I don’t know, I don’t know, ooooh

I was talking to my girlfriend just the other day
I was not a bit surprised at what she had to say
On the subject of love we both were disillusioned
All day long we tried to find some kind of a solution

She said, “I’m tired of all that cheatin’ and lyin’.
Men won’t change so I’m just gonna give up tryin’.”
I said, “I feel the same way, too.
But I can’t give up so I don’t know what to do.”

I tell you
Men
Can’t live with ‘em
But you can’t live without ‘em
What can you do about ‘em?
I tell you
Men
Can’t live with ‘em
But you can’t live without ‘em
I say we got a problem
Oh whoa

Said we oughta tell them about their evil ways
I know they’ll get defensive then turn around and say
We’re not alone out here ‘cause women do it, too
I said, “Two wrongs don’t make it right.
They pay the price like you.”

She said, “I’m tired of all that cheatin’ and lyin’.
Men won’t change so I’m just gonna give up tryin’.”
I said, “I feel the same way, too.
But I can’t give up so I don’t know what to do.”

I tell you
Men
Can’t live with ‘em
But you can’t live without ‘em
What can you do about ‘em?
I tell you
Men
Can’t live with ‘em
But you can’t live without ‘em
I know we got a problem

I hope that there’s a man somewhere
Who knows that love’s a treasure
But the only ones I’ve met so far
Has used this love for pleasure
They don’t make commitments
They say come deal with me
But I don’t want to buy his love
With my prerogative

Men, really want to love you
But I can’t accept the way you do the things you do
Men
Can’t live, can’t live, can’t live without ‘em
Oh men can’t live, oh live
I know we got a problem

Men
Can’t live with ‘em
But you can’t live without ‘em
What can you do about ‘em
I tell you
Men
Can’t live with ‘em
Can’t live without ‘em
What can you do about ‘em
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just don’t know what to do about ‘em
Men can’t live with ‘em
Can’t live without ‘em.
