Sisters don't blame my man too much

I know he's doing his best.

I know his fear and loneliness

He can do no more no less.

He was brought up by us women

And the world that told him to be a man.

He reached and stretched to be the one

While millions more tried to be that one.

I want my love to rest tonight

So he can face the world tomorrow.

I want my love to sleep tonight

So he can deal with tomorrow.

Sisters don't blame your man to much

You know he's doing his best.

You know his fear and loneliness

He can do no more no less.

He was told by his mothers to never trust girls

He was told by his fathers to never shed tears.

He sees girls chasing after superstars

While their men are sitting behind bars.

I want my love to rest tonight

So he can face the world tomorrow.

I want my love to sleep tonight

So he can deal with tomorrow.

Sisters don't blame our men to much

We know they're doing their best.

We know their fear and loneliness

They can do no more no less.

They were told by us to get ahead

Be gentle and tender yet hard and strong.

Nothing short of a living god

Nothing short of james bond.

If we all knew that no ones to be ashamed

But that the society is to be blamed.

We could then come together again

And direct our energies towards changing the world.

Were all blind and crippled mates

Frustrated would-be presidents of united states.

We don't know how to cope with ourselves

Or to love our mates for being themselves.

I want my love to rest tonight

So he can face the world tomorrow.

I want my love to sleep tonight

So he can deal with tomorrow.
