Lyrics

I don't think that, uh
You should go through the change that you do
I wanna change things for the better
He don't deserve your kind of love
The kind guys like me don't get enough of
Hanging out late with his friends
Always in your pockets, spending your ends
What I wouldn't do to be in his shoes
He goes out his way to misuse you
Don't take much to share responsibility
He don't even care what kind of man is he, yeah
You give your everything, but get nothing in return
Whatever you need, just teach me, I ain't afraid to learn, no
I'll care for you (I'll care for you)
Be there for you (be there for you)
I'll share with you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll understand (I'll understand)
I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend)
That's my definition of a man
I'll care for you (care for you)
Be there for you (be there for you)
I'll share with you (ah)
I'll understand (I'll understand)
I'll be your friend (wanna be your friend)
That's my definition of a man (that's my definition)
You don't seem like you're satisfied
He said that he changed, but you know he lying
I've never been one to have a PhD
'Cause I don't want nobody player hatin' on me
I know a good thing when I see one
I look in your eyes, girl, I see the sun
Girl, let him go while you're ahead
I should be the one sleeping in your bed, baby, oh
You give him everything, but get nothing in return
Whatever you need, girl, just teach me
See, I ain't afraid, I ain't afraid to learn
I'll care for you, be there for you (no, no, no, no, no)
I'll share with you (no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby)
(See, I'll be there for you) I'll understand (I'll understand)
I'll be your friend (gonna be your friend)
That's my definition of a man (that's my definition)
(That's my definition of a man, baby)
I'll care for you, be there for you (stay by your side)
I'll share with you (to be your love, to be your guide)
(I'll be there for you) I'll understand, I'll be your friend (oh, baby)
(Ooh, ooh) that's my definition of a man
Can I break it down, down, down, down, down, down? Yeah
See, baby
You should never have to wear the same thing twice
I'll buy you everything you like
I'll go through the wall for you
Spend my last dime at the mall for you, baby
Go downtown in more ways than one
See a good man's job, a good man's job is never, never, never
Never, never, never, never done, baby
I'll care for you (care for you)
Be there for you (be there for you)
I'll share with you (I'll be the one to give you everything you want and need, oh baby)
I'll understand (hey, yeah)
I'll be your friend (be your friend, and that's my definition)
That's my definition of a man (that's my definition of a real good man, baby)
I'll care for you (oh), be there for you (ooh-wee, baby)
I'll share with you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll understand, I'll be your friend (oh baby)
Said that's my definition of a man
