We show our love through the things we do and don't do for the women in our lives.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I can’t trust my feelings baby cuz really I don’t know you
Not a month since you came into my life and what do you go and do?
You say another thing that makes me wanna stay with you
Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind that I’ve had girls on the side
Among the other things that I left behind cuz I met you

Chorus:
I need to break it down so that you understand
I know I’m not your man but you could be my girl
I try to verbalize it but I think I can
Show you that I’m the man that you need in your world

Verse 2:
I’d like to get you all the things you never had
Know what you do and you don’t like and in the late night
I wanna be the one you’re kissing when you close your eyes
I’ll be that guy you call
when some’n gone wrong you need a man to handle it
Beauty my eyes behold I’m feelin some’n strong I just can’t stand it
Listen baby I’m just saying you got a quality that I can’t let go
You mind is beautiful body is caramel
I can’t do without it oh I’m feelin your flavor.

Chorus:
I need to break it down so that you understand
I know I’m not your man but you could be my girl
I try to verbalize it but I think I can
Show you that I’m the man that you need in your world

Break
Chorus

Bridge:
I’ve made some major changes in my life
it’s strange cuz I met you right about the same time
It happened to us for a reason
I’m trynna let you see that you need me I’ll be there believe that
I got to get this off my chest. I came across the best.
I won’t settle for less not in the mean time
It wouldn’t be right we got the same vibe and you can be mine

Chorus x2

After years around various bands and artists I've grown to dig the real feel that music has when it's played live and I try to bring that to my tracks along with my own flavor of musicality.
