Now you see why this song is controversial. I don't intend to sound like I think Brad Paisley is a bad guy, he's just the unfortunate songwriter whose lyrics stuck out the most to me.
When you see a deer you see Bambi
And I see antlers up on the wall
When you see a lake you think picnic
And I see a large mouth up under that log
You're probably thinking that you're going to change me
In some ways well maybe you might
Scrub me down, dress me up but no matter what
I'm still a guyWhen you see a priceless French painting
I see a drunk, naked girl
You think that riding a wild bull sounds crazy
And I'd like to give it a whirl
Well love makes a man do some things he ain't proud of
And in a weak moment I might walk your sissy dog, hold your purse at the mall
But remember, I'm still a guy
Paisley claims that the song is not an attack on women, rather that it's addressing society and how society tries to feminize men. I don't know if I believe that statement or not, but the bottom line is, upon listening to the song I felt offended.
