And all my girls say
what!
(laughter)

tie me up, tie me up
oh, oh, baby
oh yeah
last night i had a dream
and i couldn't sleep
what was wrong with me
thinkin' 'bout the fight we had
and it makes me mad
that i'd go off like that
wish i could take it back
so, baby, i apologize
it wasn't right
is there a compromise that we could find
cause i be thinkin' you're insensitive
but it's just different from mine
Chorus:
understand the nature of a man
and realize that we're just different
i understand that if i be me and you be you
we know love will pull us through
understand the nature of a man
I understand
i'll be there for you
baby, through and through
i'll be your candied yams
you know i love you, boo
i'm not tryin' to be the man
nah, ain't got that kinda nerve
ain't tryin' to role reverse
i know i wear the purse
to me it's not about control
that's not what i want
it's your love i want
and from you i want
all the little character flaws
it's one of nature's laws
from the beginning of time
Chorus
You're the creamy part
of my chocolate star
that's what you are
you stole my heart
the fragrance of my melody
i can't describe what you are to me
my baby, my baby
you do that thing for me
Chorus
