and all my girls say
what!
(laughter)
tie me up, tie me up
oh, oh baby
oh yeah

last night i had a dream
and i couldn't sleep
what was wrong with me
thinkin' 'bout the fight we had
and it makes me mad
that i'd go off like that
wish i could take it back
so baby i apologize, it wasn't right
is there a comprise that we could find
cause i be thinkin' you're insensitive
but it's your language
it's just different from mine

(chorus)
understand the nature of a man
and realize that we're just different
i understand that if i be me and you be you
we know love will pull us through
understand the nature of a man
i understand

i'll be there for you
baby through and through
i'll be your candied yams
you know i love you boo
i'm not tryin' to be the man
nah, ain't got that kind of nerve
ain't tryin' to role reverse
i know i wear the purse
to me it's not about control
that's not what i want
its your love i want
and from you i want
all the little character flaws
it's one of nature's laws
from the beginning of time

(chorus)

you're the creamy part
of my chocolate star
that's what you are
you stole my heart
the fragrance of a melody
i can't describe what you are for me
my baby, my baby
you do that thing for me

(chorus)
