I think I love ya
Give me an access to all your secret places
Cause I want ya
And don't you overlook me
Cause I'm a man
You do what you can
Cause I'm a man
Now give me your hand
Let me do bit like this cause I can
I can cause I'm the man
My sweet lady come here
I'm gonna touch you
What do you mean?
No, I don't know you
But I want to
And don't you undermine me
Cause I'm a man
You do what you can
But I do what I want
Cause I'm the man
Do I like what I see
Did I like what saw
Yes, I'm the man
I think you're delicious
Come and sit here
Where's your man
Now give me your hand
Let me do bit like this cause I can
And I can cause I'm the man
Give me a browse
Through your view
I know that you want to
Why else would you be in here
Looking like you do
You see I understand
After all I'm the man
I'm the man
I'm the man
You do what you can
But I do what I want
Cause I'm the man
Do I like what I see
Did I like what saw
Yes, I'm the man
I think you're delicious
Come and sit here
Where's your man
Now give me your hand
Let me do bit like this cause I can
And I can cause I'm the man
I'm the man
The lyrics to Emmi's "Man" are quite straightforward and paint a picture of a man who believes he is entitled to access all of a woman's secret places, touch her without permission, and undermine her. The man in the song believes that simply because he is a man, he has the right to do what he wants, and the woman should not question him. He repeatedly asserts his masculinity by reminding the woman that he is "the man."
The first verse suggests a feeling of infatuation towards the woman, but his desire for her is not genuine. He is only interested in her until he has achieved access to all her secret places. He expects the woman to comply with his wishes, and if she doesn't, he will not hesitate to undermine her.
The second verse continues with his assumption that he can touch the woman without her permission. He believes that his desire for her is enough to justify any actions he takes towards her. He also assumes that the woman is interested in him, despite the fact that they do not know each other. The chorus repeats the same theme of his masculinity and entitlement to do what he wants because he is "the man."
Overall, "Man" is a sarcastic, ironic take on toxic masculinity and male entitlement. Emmi sings from the perspective of a man who believes he is entitled to a woman's body simply because he is a man. She exposes the absurdity of this belief through the use of irony and sarcasm.

Yeah, it really wasn't that hard to get several of the power bomb expansions. The one you got at 13:00 was probably the sixth or seventh that I found before I ever met ol' Red EMMI. Sneaky game devs knew people would get 'em! :P
