she didn?t have a house a house up in the hills 
i never heard her ask for some car with the chromed out wheels 
but all she wanted was some love and affection 
but all i did all the time was neglect 
the fact that she was lonely i used to be her homey 
i used to talk about how i was gonna get us out of the hood 
but as long as we?re together as a family then it?s all good 

1 because any man can make a baby 
but it takes a real man to be a father 
talking 'bout a family the kid you and me 
it?s not a fantasy but it?s reality 
you see love is wrong and love is right 
but if love is strong then love is tight 
talking 'bout a chemistry like a bride to be 
it?s not a fantasy but it?s reality 

be careful were the words the last time we had our talk 
and your truth sound absurd so my pride just let you walk 
when all the time knowing that i didn?t mean 
to hollar out and call you bitch and tell you leave 
i admit it i was wrong but now it?s over come on home 
i can?t take it here is where you belong 
even out the window looking for the mailman 
i hope he?s got a letter says i?m missing you in the mail 
and then i saw you with another made it hard for me to breathe 
but when i played the game for gives 
i should?ve played the game for keeps 

repeat 1 

now i wore the shoes that you talked about in your song 
but it?s been a change i?ve got a new pair on yes 
now every night and day i still await 
at the lonely spot in the hills 
and think about how you set the record straight 
any man can 

repeat 1 until fade
