Sisters, dont blame my man too much, |
|
I know hes doing his best. |
|
I know his fear and loneliness, |
|
He can do no more, no less. |
|
He was brought up by us women, |
|
And the world that told him to be a man. |
|
He reached and stretched to be the one |
|
While millions more tried to be that one. |
|
I want my love to rest tonight |
|
So he can face the world tomorrow. |
|
I want my love to sleep tonight |
|
So he can deal with tomorrow. |
|
Sisters, dont blame your man to much, |
|
You know hes doing his best. |
|
You know his fear and loneliness, |
|
He can do no more, no less. |
|
He was told by his mothers to never trust girls, |
|
He was told by his fathers to never shed tears. |
|
He sees girls chasing after superstars, |
|
While their men are sitting behind bars. |
|
I want my love to rest tonight |
|
So he can face the world tomorrow. |
|
I want my love to sleep tonight |
|
So he can deal with tomorrow. |
|
Sisters, dont blame our men to much, |
|
We know theyre doing their best. |
|
We know their fear and loneliness, |
|
They can do no more, no less. |
|
They were told by us to get ahead, |
|
Be gentle and tender, yet hard and strong. |
|
Nothing short of a living god, |
|
Nothing short of james bond. |
|
If we all knew that no ones to be ashamed, |
|
But that the society is to be blamed. |
|
We could then come together again |
|
And direct our energies towards changing the world. |
|
Were all blind and crippled mates, |
|
Frustrated would-be presidents of united states. |
|
We dont know how to cope with ourselves, |
|
Or to love our mates for being themselves. |
|
I want my love to rest tonight |
|
So he can face the world tomorrow. |
|
I want my love to sleep tonight |
|
So he can deal with tomorrow. |
