I like my men just like you 

And they just not you

So they don't get through to me 

Which is nothing new to me.. but 

Didn't know I had a type until God sent you to me 

Don't know how you managed to open all the doors I thought I had locked 

Showing me the brighter side of life that I  thought I had lost 

 

Time cost too much to just be wasting it 

That's why I spend it with you 

No chunk change, you a stack 

Double back, all them nights of drinking and dancing, time of our lives just in your bedroom 

In between sips, we smiling

And sure, I liked the stagger in your words 

Swagger in your verbs—I mean actions.. But it was more than that 

It's still more than that 

 

All these bitches don't know the half of it.

I could sweep the floor with them, 

they dust bunnies, collecting where they can. 

they don't know that? 

You need to let em know that. 

 before I hurt they feelings...

Cause.. you know I'll hurt they feelings

And they can have the fake you, 

if you want to wear him out, 

But I know you don't. 

Rather slip on a hat, than a mask. 

 

You always been picky 

That's why you picked me.

What bitch gon be cool, just watching documentaries 

Talking up for centuries, about everything mentally 

Not no half ass discussions

Not some party for the history books, which is cool and all, but they don't bring this feelin.. 

Just there, just listening.. to you. 

Who? Oh, you know who. 

 

I don't wanna see another girl in your car, or on your arm 

that won't do half of what I do, 

And maybe that's just because I want more for you

Support you and 

Adore you and 

Always gunna be there for you and 

You know I ain't one to bluff 

If it's important enough, you know I'll always be there 

 

4 A.M. You can't get comfortable.. 

Let me put you at ease 

You know I aim to please 

let me do it for you 

I always do it for you
