about

This song is about dating men, which has proven to be extremely difficult and painful as a queer trans women of color.

lyrics

kept my long legs smooth for you
did all the things you like me to
hair up, makeup, meals for two
and still you leave me feeling blue

mama said that's just men
take what they want and you can mend
the wounds they put deep into you
and still you'll feel so blue

that's just men
that's just men

so i said never again
sorry ma but that's end
no happiness to pretend
just me and all my closest friends

but all my friends they tend to leave
they fall in love, they get married
have a kid or two or three
then there's no one there for me

that's just men
that's just men

oh mama tell me does it change
will summer come dry up the rain
or is this loneliness the game
that i was always meant to play

she said one day a prince will come
and he will surely be the one
to rescue me from the darkness up above

that's just men
that's just men

so i guess until that day
blue as blue is how i'll stay
damned alone and damned to wait
don't think i'll ever love.
