What makes a man promise her forever
When he knows damn well that's something he can't do?
Why does he look into her eyes and tell her lies right off the bat?
Oh, I wonder what makes a man do that

What makes a man lay down with a stranger
When the one he loves is waiting up at home?
Why does he beg her for trust then tear it up behind her back?
Oh, I wonder what makes a man do that

What makes a man go a stray
And take a chance on losing everything?
What makes a man think it's okay
To play games with her heart?

Oh, why would he take two lives
And slowly drive them both off track?
Oh, I wonder what makes a man do that

What makes a man go asking for forgiveness
When he knows it's something that he don't deserve?
Oh, and why does he cry when she denies him what he has asked?
Oh, I wonder what makes a man do that

What makes a man go a stray
And take a chance on losing everything?
What makes a man think it's okay
To play games with her heart?

Oh, why would he take two lives
And slowly drive them both off track?
Oh, I wonder what makes a man do that
Lord, I wonder what makes a man do that
