Yeah, I mean I know what you talkin' about, brother
So let me tell him
I know a lot of women gonna hate it
But, somebody?s gotta say it
And so I nominated myself to deliver the news
That it's hard for a man to choose a lady that already got a baby
Although his feelings may be strong
Having kids that don?t belong to him
Holdin' on to him, somehow seems wrong to him
Exposing them to a man who may one day decide
He?s tired of the family life
Now he?s gotta tell that little girl a 'goodbye lie'
When he?s the only Dad she?s ever had in her life
And I don?t wanna take that chance, please don?t take offense
It?s just the thought of hurting somebody that was innocent
She got kids, don?t know if I?m ready to give
Them the things that they need to live
?Cause if we become more than just friends
What I do for her, I gotta do for them kids
And I just wanna make sure this is more than just a sexual trip
All I wanna do is prevent those kids from gettin' hurt again, yeah
Now most men think it but they?ll never say it
But what if ya?ll had another baby
And he?s accused of choosing favorites, and they?re right
Would he be wrong for lovin' his own flesh and blood a little more?
Is he being human or only being immature? Who?s to say?
That?s why it?s better just to wait, take love day to day
And let love spread its own wings
If it wants to fly away or if it decides to stay
It won't be because of any unrealistic expectations, ya?ll done made
And he won't have to pray that little girl ain't awake
When he tiptoe out the door, so he won?t have to explain
I don?t wanna take that chance, please, don?t take offense
Just don?t need that kinda drama on my conscience
She got kids, don?t know if I?m ready to give
Them the things that they need to live
?Cause if we become more than just friends
What I do for her, I gotta do for them kids
And I just wanna make sure this is more than just a sexual trip
All I wanna do is prevent those kids from gettin' hurt again
But then, even though when I see God cares
After all the, you know, bein' concerned and all the worryin'
I just realized that you know, I had [Incomprehensible] finished for
And I just can't see her bein' with nobody else, I just can't
