LYRICS:

I got in a fight, I was indisposed
I was in despite all the wicked prose
But I'm only a man
And I do what I can

I got friends in high places, I get out for free
I got in a fight but they don't know me
'Cause I'm only a man
And I do what I can

B-E-H-A-V-E arrest us
Italiana mobster looking so precious, uh
B-E-H-A-V-E never more
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war

Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show)
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, ooh-woah-oh
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show)

I did something bad, maybe I was wrong
Sometimes people say that I'm a big time bomb
But I'm only a man
And I do what I can

B-E-H-A-V-E arrest us
Italiana mobster looking so precious, uh
B-E-H-A-V-E never more
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war

Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show)
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, ooh-woah-oh
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show)

Oh, woah-oh-woo
The fire hurts alright
'Cause we can make 'em all a bit crazy
We can make 'em alright
Oh, woah-oh-woo
The fire hurts alright
The people touch it
I can't touch it, even though it's mine

Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show)
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, ooh-woah-oh
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can (do what I can)

B-E-H-A-V-E arrest us
Italiana mobster looking so precious, uh
B-E-H-A-V-E never more
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war

Listening to this on the car ride home and it’s hitting different ‼️

[Sokathis]

I don’t know why, but this song reminds me of a dream I had years ago…of being on a train that was on a bridge with complete chaos, destruction and fires going on below

[Soupboss]

Good god the goosebumps are a LOT on this one

[ShadowFai]

*I.. I don't behave.. I don't behave huhh!!!*
