[Intro:]

This is for all the ladies who've loved a man but he just wasn't ready

And for all the fellas who've loved a girl but she just didnt get it



[Verse 1:]

Tell me have you ever loved, loved someone gave them your best, 

gave them your all, 

offer them a heart that they didnt want and it hurt so bad. 

But trust and know that i'm right here with you 

i know what i need to be done with a mission

to make them understand



[Hook:]

that you say what you feel 

and you so sincere

and your life would be so lovely

if you had them around

if they wanted to be down

but they just cant share your dreams



[Chorus:]

This is for all the ladies who've loved a man but he just wasn't ready

but everynight you sit at home knowing thats where he belongs

And for all the fellas who've loved a girl but she just didnt get it

believe that i know what it feels like partner,

 but no matter what you do you aint gettin through



[Verse 2:]

You've tried everything that youve know to prove your love is true

still she keeps on holding on to her past

she's been hurt before so shes afraid to take a chance,

to put her heart back on the line

but you set her free if she can open up and see



[Hook:]

that you say what you feel 

and you so sincere

and your life would be so lovely

if you had them around

if they wanted to be down

but they just cant share your dreams



[Chorus:]

This is for all the ladies who've loved a man but he just wasn't ready

but everynight you sit at home knowing that's where he belongs

And for all the fellas who've loved a girl but she just didnt get it

believe that i know what it feels like partner,

but no matter what you do you aint gettin through



I said ladies be patient with him

try your best not to quit

understand that it takes sometime for us to grow up

and fellas try to realize 

that she cant identify what real love is like

it's gonna take some time



[Chorus:]

This is for all the ladies who've loved a man but he just wasn't ready

but everynight you sit at home knowing that's where he belongs

And for all the fellas who've loved a girl but she just didnt get it

believe that i know what it feels like partner,

but no matter what you do you aint gettin through
