Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Said I got the best woman in the world, tell me
Where would I go, where would I be without you, baby?
Oh, my baby, this is how I feel, babe
[Verse 2]
Even when she don't understand (Oh)
She don't be stressin' me
She just lets me be a man
And if ever I'm weak and reach for her hand
She don't throw it up in my face
She lets me be a man
[Verse 3]
My baby knows that I love her
When I'm on the streets she don't have to wonder
Keepin' it cool, I remain true
Nothin' in the world worth losin' you
I might talk noise, frontin' for my boys
Might chase skirts, flirtin' don't hurt
Up in the club I ain't nothin' but a thug
But I'll never jeopardize our love
[Verse 4]
I come home a little late
She ain't all up in my face
If I don't return her page
Everything is good, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
I'm only tryna get us out the hood (Only tryna get us)
So I get it in first
I know I got her trust
That's more than enough
[Verse 5]
She's always got my back
She's down for me (Even if she don't understand me)
Even if she don't understand
She don't be stressin' me
(No, no)
She just lets me be a man
(She just let me be the man that I am)
And if ever I'm weak and reach for her hand
She don't throw it up in my face
She lets me be a man
[Verse 6]
She's always been my best friend
Right there beside me through thick and thin
When I was young, dumb, and had no dough
Anybody else woulda bounced a long time ago
Think all the times I made her cry
When I shoulda told the truth and I told a lie
I don't deserve her, no, she won't let go
In spite of everything
[Verse 7]
I come home a little late
She ain't all up in my face (Ooh)
If I don't return her page
(If I don't return a page)
Everything is good, yeah
I'm only tryna get us out the hood
(Said I'm only tryna get us out, baby, babe)
So I get it in first
I know I got her trust
That's more than enough
[Verse 8]
She's always got my back (Hey)
She's down for me
(Even if she don't understand me)
Even when she don't understand me
(Even if she don't understand me)
She just lets me be a man
(Everything that I ever wanted in a woman)
And if ever I'm weak and reach for her hand
(I found in you, babe)
She don't throw it up in my face
She lets me be a man
(She lets me be a man, baby, oh)
[Verse 9]
Even when she don't understand
She don't be stressin' me
(Everything I want and need)
She just lets me be a man
(I got it in my baby)
And if ever I'm weak and I reach for her hand
(Oh, no, no)
She don't throw it up in my face
She lets me be a man
(Listen)
[Verse 10]
She loves me unconditionally
Through all my flaws and insecurities
And I love her for that
She'll never turn her back on me
She'll always be my baby
Be my baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, what have I got myself into?
I done found the number one woman in the world
She'll always be my baby girl
Even if she don't understand
[Verse 11]
Even when she don't understand
She don't be stressin' me
(She don't be stressin' me, no)
She just lets me be a man
(I'm workin' hard)
And if ever I'm weak and I reach for her hand
(If I'm out till three o'clock in the morning)
She don't throw it up in my face
(She don't throw it up in my face)
She lets me be a man
(She know I'm tryna get us out the hood, baby)
[Verse 12]
Even if she don't understand
(Even if she don't understand)
She don't be stressin' me
She just lets me be a man
(She lets me be the man that I am)
And if ever I'm weak and I reach for her hand
(And I love my baby)
She don't throw it up in my face
(She don't throw it up in my face no, no)
She lets me be a man
[Verse 13]
Even when she don't understand
(I'm the luckiest man in the world)
She don't be stressin' me
She just lets me be a man
(Prayers do come true)
And if ever I'm weak and I reach for her hand
(Even when it's time to make love)
She don't throw it up in my face
(She let me do the things I'm here to do)
She lets me be a man
[Verse 14]
Even when she don't understand
(Even if she don't understand what's goin' on)
She don't be stressin' me
She just lets me be a man
(She lets me be a man)
And if ever I'm weak and reach for her hand
