My critical man, just
Who do you think you are
You trap with your love
Then rip me apart

Please don't be nice
It messes my head
When you turn around
And stab me again

I must be crazy
Always trying to please
A man whose best words
Are but a tease

My critical man
You go too far
Please stop the words
That break my heart

When friends of ours
Come around
I'd like to crawl
Right under ground

I'm not an object
To correct and change
Like a piece of furniture
You rearrange

What you're looking for
I will never be
A mindless face to
Simply please

I even try to think
Just like you
Then maybe you'll
Approve of what I do

Critical man - you
Know who you are
I'm trapped by your love
And broken apart

If you can't be nice
Don't mess with my head
Try turning around
And love me instead

Critical man - you know who you are!
