[Verse 1]
You told me, you'd take my innocence
You told me, I thought I knew what you meant
You sold me in a dream of a better time
You'd take a pice of my mind

[Chorus]
Typical man on my knees
The way you talk down to me
You took the hope outta me
The way you talk down to me
Typical man on my knees
The way you talk down to me
You took the hope outta me

[Verse 2]
Lately, you always get on top of me
Now that you used to, now that's just a distant memory
You showed me a nightmare in disguise
And you took a piece of my mind

[Chorus]
Typical man on my knees
The way you talk down to me
You took the hope outta me
The way you talk down to me
Typical man on my knees
The way you talk down to me
You took the hope outta me

[Bridge]
Oh, on my knees
On my knees
Oh, on my knees
Ooh, ooh
Yes, I took that, took that
Oh, hmm, hmm, best of me

[Chorus]
Typical man on my knees
The way you talk down to me
You took the hope outta me
The way you talk down to me
Typical man on my knees
The way you talk down to me
You took the hope outta me
Typical man on my knees
The way you talk down to me
You took the hope outta me
The way you talk down to me
Typical man on my knees
The way you talk down to me
You took the hope outta me
