Coming Back As A Man
Emerald Caro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And something has me really turning red
I toss and then I turn inside this bed, oh yeah
Yeah, I said it
I'm unsatisfied
With all the Romeos and their goodbyes
Their 'See ya later's incomplete the lies
That's why I sigh
It's not just me I talk about
Our age is on the way
All the money in the women's world will never make him change
Gonna grab the yellow pages
Find a Davinci of the threads
To dress me up and make me look like someone else instead
It's time for my rehearsal, the ultimate reversal
You see, I've got a plan
I'm coming back as a man
I'm gonna wear blue
And find a pair of flat black leather shoes
That shine more than a diamond mine could do
And add something new
Like wear a cologne
That says you are the man I'm gonna own
And whispers "baby, will you take me home?"
Va va va va va voom
I drop a hint and then my keys
And then I'll cast a net
To catch someone who's in for such a night he won't forget
Gonna grab the yellow pages
Find a Da Vinci of the threads
To dress me up and make me look like someone else instead
It's time for my rehearsal, the ultimate reversal
You see, I've got a plan
I'm coming back as a man
I'll hide behind the Errol Flynn moustache
Remove the false impression to make sure the feeling lasts
Call me the equalizer for the girls
And tell me baby, tell me where it hurts
Gonna grab the yellow pages
Find a Davinci of the threads
To dress me up and make me look like someone else instead
It's time for my rehearsal, the ultimate reversal
You see, I've got a plan
I'm coming back as a man
In "Coming Back As A Man," Emerald Caro explores the concept of gender roles and the limitations and frustrations that come with them. She starts by admitting that she's "unsatisfied" with the way things are, particularly with the way men behave in relationships. She's frustrated with Romeo-types who say goodbye without really meaning it. She also notes that she's not alone in her dissatisfaction – "It's not just me I talk about/Our age is on the way/All the money in the women's world will never make him change." This suggests that Emerald Caro is speaking on behalf of a larger group of women who are fed up with traditional gender roles.
To address this frustration, Emerald Caro decides to "come back as a man." She imagines herself wearing blue and black leather shoes, with a cologne that suggests she knows what she wants. This persona is clearly a more confident and assertive version of herself. She plans to "cast a net" for someone who won't forget the night they spend together. Essentially, Emerald Caro's plan is to take on the traits she finds attractive in men and use them to her advantage. By becoming the "equalizer for the girls," she's hoping to level the playing field and get what she wants from relationships on her own terms.
Overall, "Coming Back As A Man" is a playful, tongue-in-cheek exploration of gender roles and the idea that a woman can take on traditional male traits to get what she wants. It's a song about empowerment and self-discovery, but it also challenges listeners to question gender norms and how they affect our behavior and relationships.

I am going to buy very shiny shoes
And add something new
I am going to do something different and unexpected
Like wear a cologne
I am going to wear a new fragrance
That says you are the man I'm gonna own
The scent I wear will communicate that I am looking for a dominant partner
And whispers "baby, will you take me home?"
I will use a seductive tone to entice someone into taking me home
Va va va va va voom
An expression of excitement or enthusiasm
I drop a hint and then my keys
I will use subtle clues to let someone know I am interested
And then I'll cast a net
I will actively pursue potential partners
To catch someone who's in for such a night he won't forget
I want to find someone who is looking for a memorable experience
I'll hide behind the Errol Flynn moustache
I will use a fake mustache as part of my new persona
Remove the false impression to make sure the feeling lasts
I want to create an authentic connection with someone that will last
Call me the equalizer for the girls
I want to see myself as someone who empowers women
And tell me baby, tell me where it hurts
I want to create a sense of intimacy with my partner
