Kind of Man Lyrics

[Intro]
(Yeah)
(Mh-hm)

[Verse 1]
I can't stop the feeling, stop the motion
Of the wheels that keep on turning in my head
I kinda like the feeling, like the hurting
Smiles are beaming, you're a challenge

[Pre-Chorus]
You're a diamond in the rough

[Chorus]
You're the kind of man to fall in love with me
You're the kind of man to fall in love with me
You're the kind of man to fall in love with me
You're the kind of man to take me not seriously

[Verse 2]
Know you like the powder, it makes you louder
It makes you feel so goddamn beautiful
But I saw you fading, becoming jadеd
You can't believe it, lifе's a challenge

[Pre-Chorus]
You're a diamond in the rough
[Chorus]
You're the kind of man to fall in love with me
You're the kind of man to fall in love with me
You're the kind of man to fall in love with me
You're the kind of man to take me not seriously

[Post-Chorus]
Not seriously
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na

[Bridge]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?

[Outro]
Maybe it's an honest mistake
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na

What did London Grammar say about "Kind of Man"?
Genius Answer

Hannah Reid:

“Kind of Man” is about watching somebody descend into the sort of glamour and slight corruption of Hollywood. The song is obviously about misogyny but it’s about sexism in a tongue in cheek way. That’s kind of what I love about the song. I didn’t want it to be melancholic in any way. So, yeah it’s quite an upbeat way of saying that.

I like the fact that it’s talking about a pattern of relationship where you could maybe expect a man who might not respect you and who might be the exact kind of man to fall in love with you – and it’s kind of that dichotomy.
