I Am a Man
I AM A MAN
First week; you had me weak
Seeing noone else you all I thought about
It was really love at first blink
But baby now i want out
Now, second & fourth week is in
My blood is thickened with confusion
I’m left before you wondering
If is this a real love connection
Lately; all I hear is
“I’m a man with needs; satisfy me”
I am trying to find the guy I fell in love with
The one who saw me as his Miss
My mistake is; i thought that’s all there is
I fell short of the rest of the experience
That at my expense; I have to spread
My very own legs to your satisfaction
Sacrifice my mother’s teachings
So I can get on with my girlfriend duties
Irregardless of whether or not I’m ready
Just as long as you steady!
It is with no pleasure that i come to the event
But I do as you please for love’s sake
And let you vent & bend, twist & turn me
To turn back & find your absence
For i did not leave up to the occasion
I am sorry; I can’t forget my past
For when I was forced into sex
Nobody brought me rules & guidelines
I laid there cold & in pain
Not sure what kinda game it was that I was playing
I wanted to cry but I was told to hush we almost done
So I am sure we almost done
Come & leave.
