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

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

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

about

Massive Stride announces the arrival of a striking, powerful new voice in contemporary R&B/soul-jazz. "The Man is Optional" delivers a courageous woman-powered anthem fuelled by funky bass and sassy rap, the fan-favourite title-track "Massive Stride" is drenched in neo-soul, while the 70s R&B-inspired groove and gospel-influenced cries of "Beauty is a Wound" resolve in an intimate revelation with the ballad, "He Loves Me" (the first song Kristin ever wrote).
