She Got Kids (Album Version) - Lyfe Jennings

Yeah I mean I know what you talkin' about brother

So let me tell him

I know a lot of women gonna hate it

But somebodys gotta say it

And so I nominated myself to deliver the news

That it's hard for a man to choose a lady that already got a baby

Although his feelings may be strong

Having kids that don't belong to him

Holdin' on to him somehow seems wrong to him

Exposing them to a man who may one day decide

Hes tired of the family life

Now hes gotta tell that little girl a 'goodbye lie'

When hes the only Dad she's ever had in her life

And I don't wanna take that chance please don't take offense

Its just the thought of hurting somebody that was innocent

She got kids don't know if I'm ready to give

Them the things that they need to live

Cause if we become more than just friends

What I do for her I gotta do for them kids

And I just wanna make sure this is more than just a sexual trip

All I wanna do is prevent those kids from gettin' hurt again yeah

Now most men think it but they'll never say it

But what if yall had another baby

And hes accused of choosing favorites and theyre right

Would he be wrong for lovin' his own flesh and blood a little more

Is he being human or only being immature Whos to say

Thats why its better just to wait take love day to day

And let love spread its own wings

If it wants to fly away or if it decides to stay

It won't be because of any unrealistic expectations yall done made

And he won't have to pray that little girl ain't awake

When he tiptoe out the door so he won't have to explain

I don't wanna take that chance please don't take offense

Just don't need that kinda drama on my conscience

She got kids don't know if I'm ready to give

Them the things that they need to live

Cause if we become more than just friends

What I do for her I gotta do for them kids

And I just wanna make sure this is more than just a sexual trip

All I wanna do is prevent those kids from gettin' hurt again
