You said before me

Your relationships were short

They never did last too long

Said every time you thought 

You found pretty Mrs. Right

She turned out to be Mrs. Wrong



You always worked late

Didn't have much time to play

And she couldn't relate to you

She couldn't understand

You're a hardworking man

You need a woman like me who do

Cuz I'll say...



Go and get your paper, babe

You won't hear nothing out of me

Honey ain't no time for play

See the bills got to get paid



We gotta eat everyday

And nothing in life comes for free

So go ahead and get what you can

I got your back, baby, be a man



So now you found me

Someone that you can adore

And you know I adore you too

Somebody that's strong

And got it goin' on

And won't solely depend on you



As crazy as it seems

I'ma let you do your thing boy

?? you are to me

See I can understand that you are just a man

Tryin' to be all that he can be

I'll say...



Go and get your paper, babe

You won't hear nothing out of me

Honey ain't no time for play

See the bills got to get paid



We gotta eat everyday

And nothing in life comes for free

So go ahead and get what you can

I got your back, baby, be a man



Go and get your paper, babe

You won't hear nothing out of me

Honey ain't no time for play

See the bills got to get paid



We gotta eat everyday

And nothing in life comes for free

So go ahead and get what you can

I got your back, baby, be a man



I understand

All that it takes

Do what you can

Before it's too late



Honey I'll always

Be around

I'll pick you up

If ever you're down



Go and get your paper, babe

You won't hear nothing out of me

Honey ain't no time for play

See the bills got to get paid



We gotta eat everyday

And nothing in life comes for free

So go ahead and get what you can

I got your back, baby, be a man
