If I knew then what I know now
I'd be living like a king
If only I knew how
But I made mistakes in my special way
I got myself off the floor
Then started all over again

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't believe that line they sell you
About a world in seven days
It takes time to build a beauty
It's a work of art and grace

[Chorus]

They say god is a man but
What if she's a lady?
They say it's a permanent plan
I think it's a maybe
I know 'cause she made me this way
She made me this way

[Verse]

Oh they get you young and heap a bucket of shame
On your pretty little head
But what if he was framed?
All for an apple and a twisted snake
The shit you get for making
One mistake
[Pre-Chorus]

Girlfriend speaks about her power
Then gets her tits out for the guys
All the world's a peep show now
And everyone's a prize

[Chorus]

They say god is a man but
What if she's a lady?
They say it's a permanent plan
I think it's a maybe
I know 'cause she made me this way

[Bridge]

She's the birds, the bees, the blackest sea
The strangest, sweetest symphony
The heart of man, the bluest eye
So it shall be, yeah

They say god is a man
What if she's a lady?
They say it's a permanent plan
I think it's a maybe
They say god is a man
What if she's a lady?
They say it's a permanent plan
I think it's a maybe
I know 'cause she made me this way
She made me this way, oh she
Made me this way
She made me this way
