Nature of the Beast lyrics

He's out on the town

stayin' out all night long,

drinkin' with the boys 

and then he brings 'em on home.

Waitin' for a phone call that

just never came, well, 

he promised you some changes,

but he's still the same.

Now you start to wonder if

he really does love you.

Wanna bury him under,

but you can't walk away.

Why don't you understand 

what's goin' on?

You should know better, 

it's the nature of the beast.

So try to forgive him,

try to understand.

He's a caveman

and it's just the nature of the beast, 

oh, yeah.

Well, you know he's a good man

and he gives you a lot,

but he'll do what he wants to

whether you like it or not.

And you just wouldn't want him

if you could push him around,

so cut him some slack

when he's acting like a clown.

And you feel mistreated 

when he's doin' his number,

but you can't get too heated,

no, you can't walk away.

Why don't you understand 

what's goin' on?

You should know better, 

it's the nature of the beast.

So try to forgive him,

try to understand.

He's a caveman

and it's just the nature of the beast, 

oh, yeah.

He's a wild man.

Try to forgive him,

try to understand.

He's a caveman

and it's just the nature of the beast.

Most of the time,

he's so angel-hearted,

he's a man that's full of pride.

But the other times, 

you don't know what's started

when he lets you down inside

and you keep on asking why.

Come here, boys.

Yeah, yeah.

Why don't you understand 

what's goin' on?

You should know better, 

it's the nature of the beast.

So try to forgive him,

try to understand.

He's a caveman

and it's just the nature of the beast.

Why don't you understand?

Oh, it's just the nature of the beast.

Try to forgive him,

try to understand.

He's a caveman

and it's just the nature of the beast.
