男人不过是一件消谴的东西 有什么了不起
爱情不过是一种普通的玩意儿 一点也不稀奇
男人不过是一件消谴的东西有什么了不起
什么叫情 什么叫意 还不是大家自已骗自己
什么叫痴 什么叫迷 简直是男的女的在做戏
是男人我都喜欢不管穷富和高低
是男人我都抛奔 不怕你再有魔力
男人不过是一件消谴的东西 有什么了不起
爱情不过是一种普通的玩意儿 一点也不稀奇
男人不过是一件消谴的东西有什么了不起

什么叫情 什么叫意 还不是大家自已骗自已
什么叫痴 什么叫迷 简直男的女的在做戏
是男人我都喜欢 不管穷富和高低
是男人我都抛奔 不伯你再有魔力
什么叫情 什么叫意 还不是大家自已骗自己
什么叫痴 什么叫迷 简直是男的女的在做戏
你要是爱上了我 你就自已找晦气
我要是爱上于你 你就死在我手里
The lyrics to Grace Chang's song, Carmen, are an exploration of love and relationships. The song first asserts that love is just a common thing and nothing special, and that men are just disposable objects. The lyrics then go on to question the meaning of love and infatuation, suggesting that they are just illusions people create for themselves. The song concludes with a declaration that the singer doesn't care about a man's status or power and will abandon him if he tries to hold her captive.
Overall, the song appears to be a commentary on the limitations of traditional notions of love and relationships, challenging the idea that men are superior or that love is something magical. The lyrics suggest that people create their own fictions about love and that those fictions can be destructive. The warnings in the lyrics also suggest that the singer is not interested in playing into those fictions and would rather remain strong and independent.
