The Man is Optional

Met this man like all the rest
Those first few weeks
Well, they're the best
He's been on his best behaviour
Acting like he's some kind of saviour
Head up high, eyes are roaming
Does he think of me only when he's phoning?
Tandem love's got training wheels
But from where I sit, here's how it feels
It's just me and my man
Just me and my man
And the man is optional
(And the man is optional)
At the show on my own
Gotta save me a seat for my phone
On my bike for a ride
He gets jealous when I play outside
He's at home all alone
Textin', typin', lyin', I don't know!
Tandem love's got training wheels
But from where I sit, here's how it feels:
It's just me and my man
Just me and my man
And the man is optional
And the man is optional
Now listen
I said
Bey dat mm dey ba do
Bey dat mm dey ba do
Bey dat mm diddy don, diddy don
Bey dat mm dey ba do
Bey dat mm dey ba do
Bey dat mm diddy don, diddy don
He's at rest
I'm in motion
Bad potion
Start a commotion, what?
He's at rest
I'm in motion
Bad potion
Start a commotion, ho!
He's at rest
I'm in motion
Bad potion
Start a commotion, what?
He's at rest
I'm in motion
Bad potion
Start a commotion
Love can be good for yourself
But it ain't good if you're foolin' yourself, what
Love can be good for yourself
But it ain't good if you're foolin' yourself, I said
Love can be good for yourself
But it ain't good if you're foolin' yourself
It's just me and my man
Just me
And the man is optional
And the man is optional
Now it's not like it's the same in every situation
And it's not like I'm against any male-female relations
But I'm not looking for that man who loves me for just one night
And until I find that man who knows how to treat me right
It's just me and my man
Just me
And the man is optional
And the man is optional
And the man is optional
And the man is...
Not for me

Massive Stride
04:35

Looking back when she was just a young and lonely child
Impressionable, had curiosity for miles
Someone told her that the dream she had would never be
And now she's growing up, turning into me
Tried to tell her because of the colour of her hair
She would never get to Broadway if she went there
Tried to shield her underneath the veil of love
But sometimes you gotta learn even when it's tough
Keep your stride
Keep that fire alive
Keep your stride
Wipe that mud from your eyes
Keep your stride
Forget your pride
Keep your stride
Keep your stride massive
Wo-oh, yeah, yeah-ah
Wo-o-oh
Wo-o-oh
Wo-o-oh
Wo-o-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wo-o-o-oh, yeah
The way she says the letter S may seem a bit strange to you
Or the features of her face don't match what you're used to
Maybe you've been blinded by what you see on TV
On the quest for pleasure instead of beauty
People try to fit you in their cookie cutter squares
Then they get confused when you refuse to live in there
If you come to know the person you've been called to be
Show them with your love
It'll set you free
Keep your stride
Keep that fire alive
Keep your stride
Wipe that mud from your eyes
Keep your stride
Forget your pride
Keep your stride
Keep your stride massive
Wo-oh, yeah yeah
Ho-o-oh
Ho-o-oh
Wo-o-oh
Wo-o-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ho-o-woh, oh o-o-we-oh
Keep your stride nice and wide
Keep that fire alive
Keep your stride
Wipe that mud from your eyes
Keep your stride
Keep your stride
Forget your pride
Keep your stride
Wo-o-o-oah, oh
Keep your stride
Nice and wide
Forget your pride
Wipe that mud from your eyes
Keep your stride
Keep your stride
Oh-oh
Ho-o-woah, oh-oh-wi-oh-oh

Beauty is a Wound
05:40
|
|||
O Lord
It's gonna be another one of those nights again
When I'm wide awake and blue
And I don't know if You can help me
But if You can, tell me what to do
Beauty is a wound
And she cut him too soon
I'm spending my time wasting love on you
She pretends to care, but she's not really there
Her heart is in the other room
She may be crying
And he may be dying to ask her what he should do
I'm sure you're sleeping
But I'm still awake and weeping all my love out for you
Beauty is a wound
And she cut him too soon
I'm spending my time wasting love on you
She pretends to care, but she's not really there
Her heart is in the other room
Bet you didn't know a heartache could hurt so bad
Bet you didn't know her smile could make him so sad
She's oblivious and he's meticulously mad
Who said love's supposed to make you glad?
Beauty is a wound
And she cut him too soon
I'm spending my time wasting love on you
She pretends to care, but she's not really there
Her heart is in the other room
Beauty is a wound
And she cut him too soon
I'm spending my time wasting love on you
She pretends to care, but she's not really there
Her heart is in the other room
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you really there?
Do you care?
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you really there?
Do you care?
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you really there?
Do you care?
Are you really there?
Do you really care?
Are you really there?
Do you care?

He Loves Me
05:38

(Oh-oh-oh)
(No, no, no, no, no)
(Oh-oh, yeah)
I don't know why he talks to me
When all I do is lie and cry and sigh and cheat
Maybe all I need is to cry on his shoulder
And baby, I know there are times when I couldn't be colder, but
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me even when I fall
He loves me even though my heart is small
Sometimes at night I call him on my special telephone
Usually it's when all the other boys are not at home
He listens to every word; every excuse he's sure to have heard
And this is not the way that I prefer it, but
He loves me
He loves me
Even when I fall
He loves me even though my heart is small.
Yes, oh yes
He loves me
He loves me
I said he loves me even when I fall
He loves me
Even though my heart
Even though my heart is small.
He gets quiet and I sense his hurt
I get cold and he gives me his shirt
But time's getting tough
Love's getting rough
Flame's getting smothered
And baby, I know I just couldn't love another
The way
The way he loves me
I said, the way he loves me even when I fall
He loves me even though my heart
Even though my heart
Even though my heart
Even though my heart
Even though, even though my heart is small
I wanna give it all to him
Even though, even though my heart is small
I wanna give it all to him
Even though, even though my heart is small
I wanna give it all to him
Give it all to him
Give it all to him
Give it all to him
Give it all to him
(Oo-ooh)
(Hey, yeah)
(Ha-ah)
(Hey, yeah)
Give it all to him
