A Lesser Man is a new song by The Weeknd who appears in episode number 3 of the HBO TV series The Idol
means a little man
The lyrics describe a feeling of self-deprecation and insecurity in a romantic relationship.
The text reveals that the narrator feels inadequate and unsure of himself, describing himself as a “failed man” who does not know when to stop. You may have a lot of emotional investment in the other person, but realize that they will take what is rightfully theirs.
Audio A Lesser Man
one less man text
what you don’t even know
I’m a deadbeat man, I don’t know when to fold
spent a lot for your soul
you give it back, i’m going to take what’s mine
far from my house
In this hot ass town but my blood’s still cold
better tell them
When you see them you’re sure they pay you
pay you in cash
i do not favor
I do not do this
you do not want see me
watching me go crazy
No matter how bad you think I am
I’m a low man, a low man, a low man
you think i am
you think you know but you don’t
I’m a little man, you’re the best of them, fuck the rest
i’m a low man
you know
show the world what i know
How do you work that tongue to collect their souls
seen you do it before
let them fall in love and make them beg for more
you can show
you’re my top star you’re my bottom girl
and before you kiss them and go
Don’t leave until you’re sure they’ll pay you
pay you in cash
i do not favor
I do not do this
you do not want see me
watching me go crazy
No matter how bad you think I am
I’m a low man, a low man, a low man
you think i am
you think you know but you don’t
I’m a little man, you’re the best of them, fuck the rest
i’m a low man

I’m less of a man than you think
I’m less man than you think I am
i think you should know, honey
