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

Looking so precious
B-E-H-A-V-E
Never more
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war!
Eh I don't behave, I don't behave, oh eh
I don't behave, I don't behave, oh eh
I don't behave, I don't behave, oh
Are you going to the party? Are you going to the show?
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, oh
'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
Are you going to the party? Are you going 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

'Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
Are you going to the party? Are you going to the show?
Oh, whoa, o, whoa
The fire it's alright
'Cause we can make 'em all go crazy
We can make 'em wanna die
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
The fire it's alright
The people touch it
I can't touch, even though it's mine
Eh I don't behave, I don't behave, oh eh
I don't behave, I don't behave, oh eh

@Amaranthae The original lyrics were submitted before the official lyrics were out. There were no sources to check at the time. No need to get condescending with people trying to share information to the best of their ability! :)
@ghostyyy No need to call someone out and make assumptions when the opinion wasn't directed towards any one person. These lyrics have been edited multiple times but there is no need to share information that is at best a wild guess. It really doesn't give the artist much credit nor does it give this website much credibility. :)
@EvilMonchichi That being said, my points still stands! Your comment is public, and anyone who visits is able to see it and know it potentially was directed at them. The comment isn't at one person, no -- it's at anyone who has edited these lyrics, and just happens to apply to others in general.<br /> <br /> As a community, many artists don't publish their official lyrics (Grimes frequently being one of them), and listeners are left to try and transcribe. I think this is extremely commendable, and I'm sure the majority of people would agree they'd rather have some semi-accurate lyrics than none at all. Additionally, if lyrics are incorrect, that's what we have the editing form for. <br /> <br /> Again, my main suggestion here is that it's better to be polite and professional when criticizing fellow dedicated members rather than unnecessarily belittling and condescending. I think that discredits this website more than anything!<br /> <br /> Sorry for the length of this, and it's perfectly okay if you don't agree with me. :) Have a good day!
@ghostyyy For your main point to "be polite and professional when criticizing fellow dedicated members rather than unnecessarily belittling and condescending," I really think you should learn to think before you speak. Your obvious and unnecessary hostility towards me only shows a great deal of immaturity and arrogance on your part. Especially with the use of added exclamation points and smiley faces. Now, should you further try humiliate or call me out, you will only be met with silence. So thank you for your opinion, I happen to disagree with you, but this is now the end of this conversation.
@EvilMonchichi personally I thought @ghostyyy showed no hostility towards you at all. Their response was very measured and I thought their point was very valid. Visit any other lyrics website, and it will give you a record of edits done to the lyrics (similar to this site). That is because this site (and most others) are based on users submitting lyrics and other users enhancing those lyrics where needed.<br /> <br /> Also instead of simply pasting the full lyrics in a comment please use the edit lyrics feature to update them. That way you are doing your bit to improve this site. Thanks
